The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  is  a  private  corporation, 
managed  and  controlled  bj  a  Board  of  Trustees,  chosen  from  its 
members. 

At  a  public  meeting,  held  on  the  23rd  day  of  November,  1869, 
a  Provisional  Committee  of  Fifty  cultured  and  public-spirited 
citizens  were  appointed  to  organize  the  Association. 

On  the  31st  day  of  January,  1870,  at  a  meeting  of  this  Com- 
mittee, the  Officers  and  Trustees  were  elected,  consisting  of  a 
President  (John  Taylor  Johnston),  two  Vice-Presidents,  a  Treas- 
urer, Secretary  and  twenty-one  Trustees. 

On  the  13th  day  of  April,  1870,  a  Charter  was  granted  by  the 
Legislature  of  the  State  of  New  York,  and  at  a  meeting  of  tlie 
Trustees,  held  on  April  27th,  1870,  a  Constitution  was  adopted. 

Soon  after,  negotiations  were  entered  into  which  consummated 
in  the  purchase  of  a  collection  of  pictures,  consisting  chiefly  of 
specimens  of  the  Dutch  and  Flemish  Schools,  but  containing  also 
important  works  of  Italian,  French,  Spanish  and  English  masters. 

It  became  necessary  to  make  immediate  preparation  for  the 
custody  and  exhibition  of  these  paintings.  The  Trustees  took 
accordingly  a  lease  for  two  years  from  May,  1871,  of  the  building 
known  as  No.  G81  Fifth  Avenue,  which,  although  too  small  for 
their  purpose,  was  the  most  available  habitation  they  could  lind. 

In  1872,  The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  was  removed  from 
its  temporary  quarters  at  081  Fifth  Avenue  to  128  West  Fourteenth 
Street.  This  large,  double  house,  known  as  the  Cruger  Mansion, 
was  leased  for  a  number  of  years  by  the  Trustees.  The  greenhouses 
and  conservatories  were  fitted  up  for  the  exhibition  of  sculptures, 
and  in  one  of  its  courtyards  the  Trustees  built  a  picture-gallery. 
This  gallery,  lighted  from  the  roof,  had  five  times  as  much  wall 
space  as  the  old  quarters  on  Fifth  Avenue,  and  enabled  the  Trus- 
tees to  extend  the  interest  of  the  Museum  by  loan  exhibitions  of 
paintings,  and  the  display  of  the  Cesnola  Collection  of  antiquities 
from  Cyprus,  a  portion  of  which  had  already  arrived  in  this  coun- 
try. The  Museum  remained  in  this  building  until  the  last  days 
of  1879,  and  was  daily  open  to  the  public  from  10  o'clock  a.m. 
until  6  o'clock  p.m. 

On  the  5th  of  Ai)ril,  1871,  the  State  Legislature,  at  tlie  request 
of  the  Municipal  Authorities  of  this  City,  passed  an  act  appropriat 
ing  the  sum  of  $500,000,  with  which  to  erect  a  building  in  the  Cen- 

V 


tral  Park,  for  the  purpose  of  eetablishing  and  maintaining  therein 
a  Museum  and  Gallery  of  Art.'^ 

On  April  22d,  1876,  the  Legislature  authorized  and  directed  the 
Department  of  Public  Parks  to  make  and  enter  into  a  contract  with 
The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art,  for  the  occupation  by  it  of  the 
building  which  was  then  being  erected,  and  such  other  additions  as 
may  be  made  to  it  from  time  to  time. 

On  the  24th  day  of  December,  1878,  the  Park  Department  exe- 
cuted a  written  agreement  with  The  Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art, 
by  virtue  of  which  the  Trustees  took  possession  of  the  building  in 
Central  Park,  which  was  then  finished;  and  during  the  year  1879 
all  the  collections  of  the  Museum  were  removed  from  the  building 
on  Fourteenth  Street  and  transferred  to  their  new  home  in  Cen- 
tral Park.  Up  to  this  date  the  Museum  was  managed,  and  its  work 
done,  by  different  Committees  of  Trustees;  but  it  now  became  evi- 
dent that  the  daily  work  had  grown  far  beyond  the  possibility  of 
being  managed  through  the  personal  supervision  of  committees,  and 
in  1879,  General  Louis  Palma  di  Cesnola,  who  was  then  Secretary  of 
the  Board,  was  chosen  Director  and  placed  in  charge  of  the  Mu- 
seum, in  which  capacity  he  remained  until  his  death  (November 
20th,  1904). 

The  new  building  in  Central  Park  was  formally  inaugurated  by 
President  Hayes,  on  March  30th,  1880.  The  first  exhibition  of  the 
Catharine  Lorillard  Wolfe  Collection  took  place  in  one  of  the  old 
Eastern  galleries.  Soon  after  it  was  found  necessary  to  add  two 
wings:  the  South  and  the  North.  The  first  was  inaugurated 
December  18th,  1888;  the  second,  November  4th,  1894;  in  both 
cases  with  appropriate  ceremonies. 

Plans  were  then  formed  by  President  Henry  G.  Marquand, 
General  di  Cesnola,  and  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  designs  made  by 
the  architect,  Richard  M.  Hunt,  for  the  creation  of  a  new  building 
which  would  more  appropriately  house  the  art  treasures  confided 
to  their  care,  and  the  City  promptly  made  the  necessary  appropria- 
tion of  one  million  two  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  immediate 
use  in  the  furtherance  of  the  project.  On  December  22d,  1902,  the 
center  portion  of  the  east  front  of  this  new  building  was  completed 
and  formally  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Trustees  by  the  Mayor,  the 
Hon.  Seth  Low,  and  the  doors  were  then  opened  to  the  public.  In 
1904  the  City  made  another  appropriation  of  one  million  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  thousand  dollars  for  extending  the  new  building  down 
Fifth  Avenue  about  three  hundred  and  fifty  feet,  the  working  plans 

vi 


for  which  are  now  being  perfected  by  the  architects,  McKim,  Mead 
&  White,  and  the  construction  will  be  commenced  at  as  early  a  date 
as  is  practicable. 

The  building  is  of  light  gray  stone,  classical  in  design,  and 
will,  when  completed,  form  a  hollow  square  with  the  old  structures 
enclosed  in  a  grand  court.  The  estimate  of  the  total  cost  is  twenty- 
two  million  dollars. 

The  chair  of  the  President,  made  vacant  by  the  death  of  Mr. 
Henry  G.  Marquand  on  February  26th,  1902,  was  filled  by  Mr.  F. 
W.  Rhinelander,  who  died  September  24th,  1904.  On  November 
2l8t,  1904,  Mr.  J.  Pierpont  Morgan  was  unanimously  elected  Presi- 
dent, and  on  January  2l8t,  1905,  Sir  Caspar  Purdon  Clarke  was 
elected  Director,  of  the  Museum. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  have  absolute  control  of  all  the  funda 
donated  and  bequeathed  to  the  Institution  for  its  enrichment,  and 
such  other  funds  as  are  or  may  be  appropriated  by  the  City  for  its 
maintenance.

This  hand-book  embraces  all  the  pictures  which  are  contained  in 
the  galleries,  staircases,  and  the  Grand  Hall,  except  the  Vanderbilt 
Loan.  Of  the  pictures  herein  catalogued,  some  are  lent,  a  large 
number  have  been  purchased  by  the  Trustees,  and  the  others  have 
been  acquired  either  by  gift  or  bequest.  The  larger  portion  of 
them  are  accompanied  by  conditions  which  render  impossible  a 
proper  classification  of  the  pictures  in  the  galleries  of  the  Museum, 
and,  while  the  Trustees  fully  recognize  the  logical,  historical  and 
aisthetic  reasons  for  such  a  classification  of  their  exhibits,  they  do 
not  think  it  of  greater  moment  (at  least  for  the  present)  than  their 
acquisition.  Miss  Catharine  Lorillard  Wolfe  bequeathed  in  1887 
her  entire  collection  of  oil  paintings  and  water-color  drawings  to 
the  Museum,  accompanied  by  an  endowment  of  $200,000.  The 
income  of  this  fund  to  be  used  for  the  preservation  and  increase 
of  the  collection,  which  by  the  terms  of  the  will  must  be  kept 
together  or  be  forfeited  to  the  legal  heirs  of  the  donor. 

Other  donations  and  bequests  of  great  value,  both  in  objects  of 
art  and  money,  have  from  time  to  time  augmented  the  wealth  and 
the  treasures  of  the  Museum:  the  first  being  the  munificent  gift 
of  Mr.  Henry  G.  Marquand,  embracing  53  oil  paintings  by  Old 
Masters,  and  pictures  of  the  English  School;  the  last,  in  impor- 
tance, that  of  Mr.  Jacob  S.  Rogers,  who  at  his  death  (July,  1901) 
bequeathed  to  the  Institution  his  whole  fortune,  amounting  to 
several  millions  of  dollars.

The  Horse  Fair,"  by  Rosa  Bonheur,  was  given  by  Mr. 
Cornelius  Vanderbilt;  then  followed  the  gifts  of  Judge  Henry 
Hilton,  ''Friedland,  1807,"  by  Meissonier,  and  the  ''Defense 
of  Champigny,"  by  Detaille.  Mr.  George  I.  Seney  also  gave 
twenty  oil  paintings,  containing  valuable  examples  of  the  Mod- 
ern Dutch  and  American  schools. 

The  Museum  contains  examples  of  nearly  all  the  leading  and 
world-famed  schools  of  paintings,  from  Jan  Van  Eyck  (1390-1440) 
to  the  latest  and  most  interesting  of  the  modern  painters.  In 
Gallery  No.  11  may  be  seen  the  first  acquisition  of  the  Museum  by 
purchase,  in  1871,  a  collection  of  pictures  comprised  of  works  by 
the  early  Dutch  and  Flemish  painters. 

In  the  southeast  staircase  there  is  a  group  of  eight  pictures  of 
the  Eenaissance  period,  purchased  at  Florence,  and  given  to  the 
Museum  by  Mr.  Cornelius  Vanderbilt  in  1880. 

Gallery  No.  15  is  occupied  with  pictures  from  the  collection  of 
Mr.  George  A.  Hearn,  twenty-four  of  which  he  has  given  to  the 
the  Museum. 

A  remarkable  work  by  Eugene  Delacroix,  "  L'Enl^vement  de 
Eebecca,"  has  been  added  to  the  Catharine  Lorillard  Wolfe  Collec- 
tion, also  a  landscape  by  Rousseau  and  Boats  on  the  Shore,"  by 
Daubigny.  And  *'The  Whale  Ship,"  by  Joseph  Mallord  William 
Turner. 

*'The  Portrait  of  the  Princesse  de  Conde,"  by  Jean  Marc 
Nattier,  Marie  Marguerite  Lambert  de  Thorigny,"  by  Nicolas  de 
Largillierre,  and  **The  Emperor  Joseph  II.  of  Austria,"  by 
Francois  Hubert  Drouais  and  **Volupte,"  by  Jean  Baptiste 
Greuze,  were  purchased  by  the  Museum,  and  have  been  placed  in 
Gallery  No.  19.  Among  the  most  recent  acquisitions  by  gift  and 
bequest  are:  Washington  Crossing  the  Delaware,"  by  Emanuel 
Leutze,  gift  of  Mr.  John  S.  Kennedy;  "  Portrait  of  George 
Washington,"  by  Charles  Wilson  Peale,  gift  of  Mr.  C.  P.

Smith  in  1902.  And  "  The  Portrait  of  Baron  Arnold  Le  Roy," 
by  Van  Dyck,  the  gift  of  Mr.  George  A.  Hearn,  1905. 

The  most  important  loan  in  the  year  1902  was  that  of  Mr.  George 
"W.  Vanderbilt,  who  lent  for  one  year  one  hundred  and  thirty-five 
pictures  from  the  collection  formed  by  his  father,  Mr.  William  H. 
Vanderbilt.  The  term  of  this  loan  has  now  been  extended  in- 
definitely. 

All  the  paintings  in  Galleries  Nos.  11,  13,  14,  17,  18,  20  and  21, 
including  those  in  the  staircases,  are  the  property  of  the  Museum,

The  sun  bursting  thro'  the  broken  stormclouds  is  setting  behind  a  dark 
rugged  cliff  at  the  right.  At  the  left  the  sea  lashed  into  foam  by  the  wind  has

ALBANI,  Francesco.    Bolognese  School 

Bom  at  Bologna,  1578;  died  there,  1660.  Son  of  a  silk  merchant.  Hia 
father  desired  to  bring  him  up  to  his  own  profession,  but  his  decided  art  genius 
so  asserted  itself  that  he  was  placed  in  the  academy  of  Denys  Calvaert,  where 
Guido  Reni  was  a  pupil.  Albani  and  Guido  became  friends,  and  when  the 
latter  went  to  Rome  and  entered  the  school  of  Carracci,  Albani  quickly  fol- 
lowed. When  Annibale  Carracci  was  employed  on  the  frescos  of  St.  Giacomo 
degli  Spagnuoli  he  fell  sick,  and  by  Ms  recommendation  Albani  was  selected 
to  finish  them.  He  also  painted  the  mythological  frescos  in  the  Verospi  (now 
Torlonia)  Palace.  In  the  Borghese  Gallery  and  at  Turin  are  his  famous 
pictures  of  the  "Four  Elements."  He  also  painted  for  the  Duke  of  Mantua 
the  stories  of  "Diana  and  Actseon  "  and  "Venus  and  Cupid."  His  best 
pictures  are  those  of  mythological  and  fanciful  subjects. 

63    CHILDREN'S  GAMES— THE  MAZE,  KITE,  ETC.

603  PORTRAIT  OF  WALT  WHITMAN. 

Three-quarters  length,  life-size,  seated  with  the  face  and  figure  turned 
to  the  left  of  the  spectator.  The  ruddy  face  is  framed  in  silvery  gray  hair 
and  a  long  flowing  beard.  The  dress  is  black  with  white  collar  and  cuffs.  The 
background  is  a  dull  warm  gray.

ALLEGRI,  Antonio  (called  II  Correggio)  (  ?).  Parmesan  School 
Born  at  Correggio  in  1494  ;  died  there,  March  5,  1534.  Son  of  Pel- 
legrino  AUegri.  Probably  pupil  of  his  father's  brother,  Lorenzo,  and  of 
Antonio  Bartolotti,  both  second-rate  painters  of  his  native  town.  At  Modena 
he  is  said  to  have  found  a  better  master  in  Francesco  Bianchi,  called  Ferrari, 
who  belonged  to  the  school  of  Francia;  but  as  Bianchi  died  in  1510,  this, 
like  all  that  concerns  Correggio's  training,  is  uncertain.  "Correggio  looked 
at  the  world  in  a  single  mood  of  sensuous  joy,"  as  a  place  in  which  every- 
thing is  full  of  happy  life  and  soft  pleasure.  A  poetic  ideality  untrammeled 
by  the  conventionality  of  schools,  systems,  or  methods  other  than  his 
own,  found  fullest  expression  in  an  all-pervading  sweetness  which  charac- 
terizes his  works.  "The  Madonna  of  St.  Francis"  (1514),  "Madonna  of  St. 
George,"  "Madonna  of  St.  Sebastian,"  "La  Notte"  (1522  or  1528),  Dresden 
Gallery;  "Rape  of  Ganymede,"  "Jupiter  and  lo,"  Vienna  Museum;  "Madonna 
Adoring  Jesus,"  Uffizi,  Florence;  "Marriage  of  St.  Catherine,"  Louvre,  Paris. 
Other  works  may  be  seen  in  St.  Petersburg,  London,  Naples,  Venice,  and  other 
Galleries,  notably  that  of  Parma.

ALLORI,  Cristoforo  (called  II  Bronzino).  Florentine  School 

Bom  at  Florence,  1577;  died  there,  1621.  Pupil  of  his  father,  and 
afterwards  of  Santo  di  Tito,  whose  style  Cristoforo  at  first  followed,  but 
abandoned  for  the  new  Florentine  eclectic  manner  based  on  that  of  Correggio. 
He  became  one  of  the  best  artists  in  Florence  of  his  time,  but  his  habits 
were  irregular,  and  he  left  but  few  pictures.  He  excelled  in  portrait 
painting. 

24  ST.  AGATHA.

Bom  at  Bmssels,  1774;  died  there,  1841.  Landscape  painter;  first

Italy,  Holland,  Germany,  and  Switzerland.  Painted  waterfalls  with  great 
skill.  Member  of  Ghent,  Brussels,  Antwerp,  and  Amsterdam  Academies.

659  BOATMEN  AT  BARCELONA. 

Three  boatmen  are  sitting  in  the  stem  of  a  boat  in  the  harbor  of  Barcelona. 
The  one  at  the  left  with  his  back  to  the  spectator  wears  a  knit  wool  cap,  a 


8 


large  scarf  about  his  neck,  a  checked  shirt,  and  a  light  yellow  sash  about 
his  waist;  both  hands  are  raised  with  the  forefinger  of  the  right  resting  on  the 
little  finger  of  the  left.  The  center  figure  to  whom  he  is  talking  sits  squarely 
to  the  front  with  both  hands  resting  in  his  lap;  he  has  on  a  cap  and  wears 
a  dark  blue  shirt.  The  third  figure  sitting  at  the  right,  with  face  and  figure 
in  profile  to  the  left,  has  both  hands  raised  and  is  lighting  a  cigarette;  a 
brown  coat  hangs  loosely  about  his  shoulders  and  a  brown  cap  is  on  his  head. 
All  three  figures  are  in  shadow  relieved  against  a  background  of  water  and 
sky  aglow  with  sunshine;  steamers  and  ships  line  the  wharves  on  the  harbor 
line  which  reaches  across  the  picture  in  the  middle  distance.

BARTOLOMMEO,  Fra  (or  II  Frate)  (?).    Baccio,  della 

Porta.  Florentine  School. 
Bom  at  Soffignano,  near  Prato,  1475;  died  at  Florence,  1517.  He  was 
a  pupil  of  Cosimo  Rosselli  in  Florence,  and  lived  near  the  gate  of  St.  Piero, 
from  which  circumstance  was  derived  his  name  of  della  Porta.  He  was  the 
intimate  friend  of  Mariotto  Albertinelli.  He  had  acquired  great  fame  for 
the  beauty  of  his  Madonnas,  and  had  been  commissioned  to  execute  a 
fresco  of  the  "Last  Judgment"  in  the  Convent  of  St.  Marco,  about  the  time 
when  Savonarola  went  to  Florence  to  preach  against  the  sinfulness  of  the  city. 
Bartolommeo  became  the  earnest  friend  of  the  preacher,  and  was  so  carried 
away  by  his  influence  that  he  burned  all  his  studies  and  drawings  of  profane 
subjects  and  those  which  represented  nude  figures.  When  Savonarola  was 
seized,  tortured,  and  burned,  Bartolommeo  took  the  vows  of  a  Dominican 
friar,  and  left  the  unfinished  pictures  to  be  completed  by  AlbertinelU.  During 
four  years  he  led  a  most  austere  life,  never  touching  his  pencil.  About  this 
time  Raphael  arrived  in  Florence.  He  was  but  twenty-one,  but  already  a 
great  painter.  He  visited  the  friar's  cell,  and  a  deep  friendship  between  the 
two  was  the  consequence.  To  this  we  owe  the  after  works  of  Fra  Barto- 
lommeo. About  1513  he  visited  Rome.  After  his  return  to  Florence  he 
executed  the  "Madonna  della  Misericordia,"  now  at  Lucca,  and  the  "St. 
Mark,"  which  is  in  the  Pitti  Palace.  His  boy  angels  are  beautifully  painted. 
His  works  are  seen  in  the  Louvre,  Vienna  Gallery,  and  the  Berlin  Museum, 
but  he  is  best  studied  in  Florence.

665  JUSTINIAN  IN  COUNCIL. 

Paris  Salon,  1888. 

Justinian  I  (Flavius  Anicius  Justinianus),  sumamed  the  Great,  a  Byzan- 
tine Emperor,  bom  at  Tauresium,  a  village  near  Sardica  (now  Sophia),  in 
Bulgaria,  in  482  or  483 ;  died,  565.  He  was  the  son  of  a  poor  barbarian  family, 
but  his  elevation  was  promoted  by  his  uncle,  Justin  I,  who,  shortly  before  his 
death  in  527,  adopted  him  as  Co-Emperor.  The  political  events  of  his  reign 
may  be  summed  up  in  the  wars  of  Belisarius  and  the  eunuch  Narses,  who 
obtained  successes  over  the  Persians  in  the  East,  and  the  Vandals  and  Goths 
in  Italy,  and  in  the  terrible  sedition  which  broke  out  at  Constantinople  in  532. 
The  glory  of  his  reign  is  the  famous  digest  of  Roman  law,  known  generally  as 
the  Justinian  Code,  which  was  compiled  out  of  the  Gregorian,  Theodosian,  and 
Hermogenian  codes,  by  the  ablest  lawj'ers  of  the  empire,  under  the  genius  of 
the  jurisconsult,  Tribonian.  Their  labors  consist — I,  of  the  "Statute  Law," 
or  Justinian  Code,  properly  so  called.  II,  "The  Pandects,"  a  digest  of  the 
decisions  and  opinions  of  former  magistrates  and  lawyers.  These  two  com- 
pilations consisted  of  matter  that  lay  scattered  through  more  than  two  thou- 
sand volumes,  now  reduced  to  fifty.  Ill,  "The  Institutes,"  an  abridgment  in 
four  books,  containing  the  substance  of  all  the  laws  in  elementary  form. 
IV,  The  laws  of  modern  date,  including  Justinian's  own  edicts,  collected  into 
one  volume  and  called,  "The  New  Code."  These  labors,  which  a  Caesar  had 
not  been  able  to  accomplish,  were  completed  by  the  year  541.  Besides  this 
important  work  of  imperial  reform,  Justmian  was  a  great  builder  and  engineer, 
and  works  of  public  utility  were  kept  constantly  in  progress  in  all  parts  of  the 
empire.  He  was  remarkable  for  his  temperance  and  chastity,  and  not  less  for 
his  great  leaming  and  diligent  application  to  the  duties  of  his  high  office.

BERCHEM    (Berghem),    Claes    (Nicholas),  (Nicolaes). 

Dutch  School. 

Born  at  Haarlem,  1620;  died  at  Amsterdam,  1683.  Son  of  Pieter 
Klaasze.  The  reason  for  his  being  called  Berchem,  or  Berghem,  is  not  known, 
but  he  usually  signed  his  works  by  that  name.  He  studied  with  his  father. 
Van  Goyen,  J.  B.  Weenix,  and  Jan  Wils,  and  married  the  daughter  of  the  latter. 
It  is  evident  from  his  works  that  he  went  to  Italy,  although  no  account  of  his 
having  done  so  is  given.  He  painted  genre,  battles,  landscapes,  cattle,  and 
portraits.  His  best  works  are  his  small  landscapes  with  figures  and  cattle. 
Berchem  is  the  most  celebrated  of  the  group  of  painters  to  which  he  belongs.

Smith  describes  417  of  his  works,  and  he  left  besides  more  than  fifty  etchings. 
The  galleries  of  Munich,  Dresden,  Vienna,  Berlin,  St.  Petersburg,  and  the 
Louvre  contain  the  largest  number  of  his  works.  Some  are  also  in  England, 
in  the  National  Gallery,  and  at  Dulwich,  and  Lord  Ashburton  has  one  of  his 
best  productions,  called  "  Le  Fagot."    He  seldom  made  large  pictures.

338     THE  MASSACRE  OF  THE  MAMELUKES. 


"The  Viceroy  of  Egypt,  wishing  to  crush  at  one  blow  the  warlike  Mame- 
lukes who  were  making  havoc  among  his  people,  on  the  first  day  of  May,  1811, 
convened,  under  a  false  pretext,  their  leaders. 

"They  were  to  meet  in  the  old  Palace  of  Cairo,  and  these  proud  Mame- 
lukes in  gorgeous  robes,  and  golden  helmets  shining  in  the  sun,  rode  up  the 
strange,  narrow  street,  cut  out  of  the  solid  rock,  where,  in  this  narrow  defile, 
conscienceless  Mehemet  had  laid  his  trap.  When  the  brilliant  procession 
arrived  at  the  gate  'El  Azale,'  the  soldiers  cried  'Treason!'  as  they  saw  each 
house  filled  with  Albanians,  armed  with  long  guns.  The  Mamelukes,  sur- 
rounded by  impassable  walls,  fell  like  ripe  com,  under  a  hail  of  bullets,  a  con- 
fused mass  of  men  and  beasts;  the  horses,  neighing  in  their  fright,  bounded 
through  pools  of  blood  over  the  bodies  of  the  wounded,  while  the  conquerors 
of  a  hundred  battles,  now  conquered,  shook  their  clenched  fists  at  the  terrible 
walls.  Death  passed  over  them  like  a  whirlwind,  not  sparing  one  out  of  the 
five  hundred  horsemen."

BLUM,  Robert  F.    American  School. 

Bom  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  1857;  died,  1904.  At  the  age  of  sixteen  he 
entered  a  lithographic  establishment,  but  soon  came  to  New  York  and  gave  a 
number  of  years  to  illustrative  work.  From  1880  to  1889  he  made  several  trips 
abroad.  In  1890  he  went  to  Japan,  commissioned  by  the  Scribners  to  work 
conjointly  with  Sir  Edwin  Arnold.  In  the  mean  time  his  paintings  had 
brought  recognition  and  he  was  awarded  bronze,  silver  and  gold  medals.  The 
"Bead  Stringers,"  a  Venetian  subject,  occasioned  his  election  as  associate 
member  of  the  Academy  of  Design,  and  "The  Ameya"  brought  him  into  fuU 
membership.  Upon  his  return  from  Japan  in  the  fall  of  1892,  after  writing  and 
illustrating  articles  on  Japan,  and  completing  several  easel  pictures,  Mr.  Blmn 
made  an  entirely  new  departure,  taking  up  mural  decoration.  The  "Moods  of 
Music"  in  Mendelssohn  Hall,  begun  in  1893,  is  his  first  serious  effort  along  the 
new  fines  and  is  an  initial  proof,  as  latet  productions  bear  witness,  that  the 
artist  was  well  qualified  to  exercise  his  powers  in  the  broad  field  of  mural 
painting.

He  is  surrounded  by  a  group  of  girls,  all  of  whom  carry  upon  their  shoulders  a 
child  gaily  dressed  in  the  most  brilliant  colors.  Beyond  this  group  in  the 
middle  of  the  road  is  a  man  wearing  a  white  hat.  He  is  seated  on  the  shafts  of

for  drawing.  Began  by  copying  in  the  Louvre;  afterwards  made  studies  and 
sketches  near  Paris.  Her  first  two  pictures  exhibited  at  Bordeaux,  1841, 
attracted  much  attention,  and  were  followed  by  others  which  established  her 
world-wide  fame.  First  exhibited  at  the  Salon  in  1845.  Her  painting, 
"Boeufs  Rouges  du  Cantal,"  won  her  her  first  reward,  a  gold  medal  of  the 
third  class,  1847.  During  the  Franco-Pmssian  War,  her  studio  and  residence 
at  By,  adjoining  the  Forest  of  Fontainebleau,  were  respected  by  special  order  of

650  THE  HORSE  FAIR. 

Rosa  Bonheur  made  her  debut  at  the  Paris  Salon  of  1841,  to  which 
she  sent  two  small  pictures  of  sheep,  goats,  and  rabbits.  She  exhibited  each 
following  year  except  1851-52.  In  1853  she  exhibited  her  masterpiece,  the 
now  famous  Horse  Fair."  The  subsequent  history  of  this  painting  is  given  in 
the  following  extract  from  a  letter  written  to  Mr.  S.  P.  Avery  by  Mr.  Ernest 
Gambart,  the  original  purchaser  of  the  picture,  formerly  of  London,  and  now 
retired  from  business  and  living  at  Nice:  I  will  give  you  the  real  story  of  the 
'Horse  Fair'  now  in  New  York.  It  was  painted  in  1852  by  Rosa  Bonheur, 
then  in  her  thirtieth  year,  and  exhibited  in  the  next  Salon.  Though  much 
admired,  it  did  not  find  a  purchaser.  It  was  soon  after  exhibited  at  Ghent, 
meeting  again  with  much  appreciation,  but  was  not  sold,  as  art  did  not  flourish 
at  the  time.  In  1855,  the  picture  was  sent  by  Rosa  Bonheur  to  her 
native  town  of  Bordeaux,  and  exhibited  there.  She  offered  to  sell  it  to  the 
town  at  the  very  low  price  of  12,000  francs  ($2,400).  While  there  I  asked  her 
if  she  would  sell  it  to  me,  and  allow  me  to  take  it  to  England  and  have  it  en- 
graved. She  said:  '  I  wish  my  picture  to  remain  in  France.  I  will  once  more 
impress  on  my  countrymen  my  wish  to  sell  it  to  them  for  12,000  francs.  If 
they  refuse,  you  can  have  it,  but  if  you  take  it  abroad,  you  must  pay  me 
40,000  francs.'  The  town  failing  to  make  the  purchase,  I  at  once  accepted 
these  terms,  and  Rosa  Bonheur  then  placed  the  picture  at  my  disposal. 
I  tendered  her  the  40,000  francs,  and  she  said :  '  I  am  much  gratified  at  your 
giving  me  such  a  noble  price,  but  I  do  not  like  to  feel  that  I  have  taken  advan- 
tage of  your  liberality.  Let  us  see  how  we  can  combine  in  the  matter.  You 
will  not  be  able  to  have  an  engraving  made  from  so  large  a  canvas.  Suppose  I 
paint  you  a  small  one  of  the  same  subject,  of  which  I  will  make  you  a  present.' 
Of  course  I  accepted  the  gift,  and  thus  it  happened  that  the  large  work  went 


12 


traveling  over  the  kingdom  on  exhibition,  while  Thomas  Landseer  was  making 
an  engraving  from  the  quarter-size  replica. 

"After  some  time,  in  1857  (I  thmk),  I  sold  the  ori^nal  picture  to  Mr. 
Wm.  P.  Wright,  New  York  (whose  picture  gallery  and  residence  were  at  Wee- 
hawken,  N.  J.),  for  the  sum  of  30,000  francs,  but  as  he  claimed  a  share  of  the 
profits  of  its  exhibition  in  New  York  and  other  cities,  he  really  paid  me  only 
22,000  francs  for  it.  I  offered  to  repurchase  the  picture  in  1870  for  50,000 
francs,  but  ultimately  I  understood  that  Mr.  Stewart  paid  a  much  larger  price 
for  it  on  the  dispersion  of  Mr.  Wright's  gallery.  The  quarter-size  repUca,  from 
which  the  engraving  was  made,  I  finally  sold  to  Mr.  Jacob  Bell,  who  be- 
queathed it,  in  1859,  to  the  nation,  and  it  is  now  in  the  National  Gallery  in 
London.  A  second,  still  smaller,  replica  was  painted  a  few  years  later,  and 
was  resold  some  time  ago  in  London  for  £4,0iX)  ($20,000).  There  is  also  a 
smaller  water-color  drawing,  which  was  sold  to  Mr.  Bolckow  for  2,500  guineas 
($12,000),  and  is  now  an  heirloom  belonging  to  the  town  of  Middleborough. 
That  is  the  whole  history  of  this  grand  work.  The  Stewart  canvas  is  the  real 
and  true  original,  and  only  large  size  'Horse  Fair.' 

"Once  in  Mr.  Stewart's  possession,  it  never  left  his  gallery  until  the 
auction  sale  of  his  collection,  March  25,  1887,  when  it  was  purchased  by  Mr. 
Cornelius  Vanderbilt  for  the  sum  of  $55,500,  and  presented  to  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art.  Hamerton  calls  Rosa  Bonheur  'the  most  accomplished 
female  painter  who  ever  lived,'  and  adds:  'She  is  a  pure  and  generous 
woman  as  well,  and  can  hardly  be  too  much  admired,  whether  we  regard  her 
as  a  woman  or  artist.  She  is  simple  in  her  tastes  and  habits  of  life,  and  many 
stories  are  told  of  her  generosity  to  others.' "

496        DEER  IN  THE  FOREST— TWILIGHT, 

The  twilight  gleams  through  a  forest  of  trees  from  whose  intertwining 
branches  the  Autumn  leaves  have  fallen,  scattering  their  purple  tints  over  the 
moss  grown  rocks  and  uneven  soil.  In  the  center  of  the  wood  are  three  deer 
at  rest;  two  are  lying  down,  the  other  stands  on  the  alert;  a  feeling  of  silence 
pervades  the  scene.

A  Brittany  peasant  girl  about  sixteen  years  old,  wearing  a  white  head- 
dress and  cape,  striped  apron  and  short  red  skirt,  is  sitting  with  bare  feet  in 
the  edge  of  a  wood  holding  her  little  brother  in  her  lap;  both  arms  are  around 
the  chubby  little  fellow  with  the  fingers  interlocked.  The  boy  is  cuddled  con- 
fidently and  contentedly  in  his  sister's  arms  with  one  bare  leg  crossing  her  lap, 
the  other  hanging  by  her  side.  An  apple  is  in  each  hand,  a  red  cap  is  on  Ms

364    RELIGIOUS  PROCESSION  IN  BRITTANY. 

Purchased  in  1873  from  the  collection  of  the  late  Baron  Strousberg, 
Berlin.  The  Brittany  peasantry  are  almost  as  wild  as  their  country,  exces- 
sively quaint  in  their  costume,  wearing  broad-brimmed  hats  and  flowing  hair 
and  m  some  districts  trunk  hose  of  the  sixteenth  century.  They  are  usually 
spare  and  wiry  in  their  persons,  almost  unchanged  in  their  manners,  customs, 
and  habits,  and  old  legends  and  superstitions  still  retain  their  hold  on  the  popu- 
lar mind.  Of  ancient  monuments  of  different  ages  there  is  no  lack  in  Brit- 
tany, and  above  all,  of  Celtic  remains;  those  extraordinary  masses  of  rough 
unhewn  stones  are  supposed  to  be  in  some  way  connected  with  the  religion  of 
the  Druids.  Brittany  appears  to  have  been  the  sacred  land  of  the  Gauls,  the 
center  of  their  worship  to  which  the  various  nations  and  tribes  repaired  on 
pilgrimages  at  stated  times  to  pay  their  devotions.  Their  mvsterious  inliu- 
ence  is  not  yet  by  any  means  effaced  from  the  minds  of  the  lower  orders  of 
Brittany.  The  influence  of  paganism  lingered  long  in  these  remote  wilds; 
indeed,  the  inhabitants  of  Ouessant  are  said  to  have  been  idolaters  until  within 
two  hundred  years.  Hence  has  arisen  a  strange  jumble  of  paganism  and 
Romanism.  Heathen  divinities  were  replaced  by  samts,  of  which  the  number 
in  Brittany  exceeds  that  of  any  part  of  Romish  Europe.  Almost  every  church 
has  its  strange  legend,  and  every  saint  his  special  patronage,  and  on  his  fete 
day  a  pilgrimage  or  pardon  is  celebrated,  when  indulgence  for  past  sins  is 
obtained.    These  festivals  often  are  nearly  equivalent  to  the  German  Kirch- 


17 


weihe  and  the  Flemish  Kermes.  The  pardon  of  St.  Mathurin  held  at  Lamballe 
on  Whitsunday  is  much  frequented  by  pilgrims,  who  dance  the  old  Breton 
dances.  The  pardon  celebrated  four  times  a  year  at  Rumegol,  near  Le  Faou,  is 
attended  with  very  curious  ceremonies.  These  pardons  take  place  at  fixed 
periods  around  about  certain  churches,  but  often  in  uncultivated  fields,  where 
tents  are  erected,  and  where  the  fete  continues  for  several  days,  and  is  attended 
by  thousands  of  the  peasantry  of  both  sexes.  The  most  important  of  these 
pardons  are  those  of  St.  Anne  d'Auray,  and  of  St.  Anne  de  Palud,  which  last  is 
the  most  picturesque  of  all,  and  takes  place  at  the  seaside.  The  one  repre- 
sented in  M.  Breton's  picture  is  held  at  Kergoat,  near  Douamenez  and  Quim- 
per.

A  RAFT  ON  THE  RHINE. 


On  the  rear  of  the  raft  which  nearly  crosses  the  foreground  of  the  picture 
are  two  men  in  white  shirts  vigorously  working  the  steering  paddles;  another 
is  bent  over  hauling  in  a  boat  which  is  in  tow;  and  others  walk  along  the  edge 
of  the  raft  with  the  ends  of  long  poles  pressed  against  their  breasts  pushing 
with  all  their  might.  Near  by  a  group  of  women  surround  a  big  kettle  in 
which  a  meal  is  being  cooked.  In  the  center  are  an  improvised  tent  and  a  tali 
pole  which  floats  a  red  banner.  Other  groups  of  figures  are  scattered  along 
the  whole  line  of  the  raft  which  swerves  to  the  left  in  mid-stream.  The  shore  is 
veiled  in  mist  and  vapory  clouds  rise  into  a  dull  gray  sky.

113  ''TITAN'S  GOBLET,  1833." 

A  remarkable  symbolic  painting  by  the  distinguished  American  painter, 
influenced  by  the  Norse  Legend  of  the  Tree  of  Life.  The  rugged  mountains 
catching  the  departing  gleams  of  the  setting  sun  form  the  background  for  a 
gigantic  cup  placed  on  the  projecting  point  of  a  rocky  headland  jutting  into  a 
sea,  on  the  shore  of  which  is  seen  an  Eastern  City,  in  the  immediate  foreground 
verdure-clad  cliffs  glowing  in  the  setting  sun,  an  extensive  landscape  spreading 
out  to  the  left.  The  spiritual  idea  in  the  center  of  the  painting  conveying  the 
beautiful  Norse  theory  that  Life  and  the  World  is  but  as  a  tree  with  ramifying 
branches,  is  carefully  carried  out  by  the  painter,  the  stem  of  the  goblet  being  a 
massive  tree-trunk,  the  branches  of  which  spread  out  and  hold  between  them 
an  ocean  dotted  with  sails,  surrounded  by  dense  forests  and  plains,  in  which 
appear  Greek  ruins  and  a  modem  Italian  building,  typical  of  ancient  and 
modem  civilization.  The  painting  has  been  exhibited  at  the  Pennsylvania 
Academy  of  Fine  Arts,  1842,  and  many  later  exhibitions.

CONSTABLE,  John,  R.A.    English  School. 

Bom  at  East  Bergholt,  June  11th,  1776;  died  suddenly,  at  London,  1837. 
His  style  was  very  broad  and  powerful,  and  his  landscapes  are  possessed  of  a 
noble  quality  which  reveals  the  beauty  of  English  cultivated  scenery  in  the 
most  charming  manner,  and  his  landscapes,  in  which  mills,  weirs,  and  dykes 
are  prominent  features,  often  glisten  with  the  early  morning  dew,  or,  wet 
with  rain,  sparkle  in  the  sunlight  bursting  through  the  storm  clouds  in  the 
sky.  He  was  both  vigorous  and  realistic ;  strong  in  his  originality,  yet  refined 
and  cultivated  in  his  mind.  His  pictures  possess  a  quality  which  fill  a  place 
unoccupied  by  any  other  English  landscape  painter,  and  they  have  done  much 
to  form  the  style  of  the  modern  French  landscape  school. 

252  A  LOCK  ON  THE  STOUR. 

An  old  timber  lock,  through  which  a  boat  is  passing  from  the  higher  to 
the  lower  level,  occupies  the  middle  foreground  of  the  picture.  In  the  bow  of 
the  boat  one  man  is  tugging  at  a  rope,  and  two  other  men  are  engaged  opening 
the  gate  of  the  lock;  on  the  left  the  country  is  flat,  bounded  by  low  hills  which 
encircle  the  church  the  square  tower  of  which  marks  the  place  where  the  village 
stands.  Cumulus  clouds  fill  the  sky,  and  a  group  of  old  oaks  with  their  massive 
foliage  shadow  the  canal  which  passes  underneath  their  branches. 

Exhibited  at  the  Royal  Academy  in  1824,  and  sold  on  the  first  day  of  the 
exhibition  for  £157  10s.  It  is  engraved  in  Constable's  Works,  also  on  wood  in 
Brock-Arnold,  Life  of  Constable,  p.  78.  This  picture  was  in  the  possession  of 
Lucas,  who  engraved  the  22  prints  in  Various  Subjects  of  Landscapes  .  .  . 
by  John  Constable,  London,  in  1833,  and  was  purchased  from  Alfred  Lucas, 
brother  of  the  engraver.

The  house  occupies  the  center  of  the  picture  and  is  illumined  only  by  a  glint  of 
light  which  penetrates  the  group  of  heavy,  dark,  oak  trees  which  overshadow 
the  whole  place.  Some  cows  have  wandered  down  into  the  stream,  and  two 
boats  are  there  containing  figures.  At  the  left  are  some  rocks  and  heavy 
timbers  with  brush,  which  border  the  stream  and  lead  on  to  a  hill  in  the  middle 
distance.  The  sky  is  filled  with  silvery-gray  clouds.  "Flatford  Mill,"  the 
property  of  the  painter's  father  in  East  Bergholt,  Suffolk,  was  near  this  place. 

Constable  painted  this  subject  several  times.  The  one  in  the  National 
Gallery  in  London  was  in  the  Vernon  collection,  and  was  engraved  by  J.  C. 
Bentley.

An  arched  stone  bridge  with  three  smaller  arches  at  the  right  crosses  the 
center  of  the  picture.  Small  trees  rise  above  and  at  the  right  in  the  immediate 
foreground  is  a  steep  bank  topped  with  trees  of  larger  growth.  The  placid 
water  clearly  reflects  the  objects  above,  and  the  sky  is  filled  with  silvery-gray 
clouds.

Bom  at  Paris,  1796;  died  there,  1875;  pupil  of  Michallon  and  Victor 
Bertin.  Visited  Italy  in  1826,  and  on  his  return  from  this  first  tour  he  brought 
those  admirable  studies  which  established  him  as  one  of  the  pathfinders  in  the 
development  of  the  modem  French  School  of  landscape  art.  Corot  was  gifted 
with  a  highly  poetical  temperament,  and  rendered  in  the  most  charming  and 
alluring  manner  the  serene  aspects  of  nature,  with  an  intelligence  replete  with 
appreciation,  and  knowledge  of  the  most  beautiful  truths.  Medals:  second

93  RETURNING  FROM  THE  CHASE. 

Clouds  of  smoke  rise  from  the  distant  hills  into  a  bright,  luminous  sky 
above;  beneath  is  a  lake  or  bay,  upon  the  border  of  which  in  the  immediate 
foreground  are  boats  laden  with  game.  Men  and  women  with  skins  about 
their  loins  are  disembarking  on  the  shore  where  prominently  at  the  right  is  a 
centaur  with  a  nude  female  sitting  on  his  back.  Upon  the  branch  of  an  old 
tree  trunk  above,  a  man  waves  his  hand  in  welcome  to  those  below,  where  a 
woman  is  springing  from  the  bow  of  a  boat,  and  two  others  are  holding  a  live 
ape  between  them.  A  faun  is  carrj^ing  a  deer  ashore  upon  his  back  and  a 
man  at  the  left  is  in  the  act  of  swinging  a  boar  from  his  back  to  the  ground. 
In  the  middle  distance  at  the  left,  the  woods  are  on  fire  and  the  hunters  are 
busy  with  their  prey.

A  thickly  wooded  landscape  with  tall  tree  trunks  in  the  foreground  and 
an  opening  over  the  fields  on  either  side  to  the  hill  and  sky  beyond.  The  fore- 
ground is  crowded  with  fauns,  satyrs,  men  and  centaurs,  with  huge  knotted 
clubs,  who  are  slaying  the  animals  which  have  been  driven  from  the  thick 
woods  by  fire.  The  fight  is  fierce  to  the  death  and  extends  to  all  parts  of  the 
picture:  at  the  right  lies  the  dead  body  of  a  man  with  his  club  beside  him,  and 
near  by  an  animal  has  sprung  from  a  tree  and  fastened  his  teeth  in  the  neck  of 
a  centaur;  prominently  at  the  left,  two  men  attack  a  lion  who  is  biting  a  boar, 
and  another  holds  a  struggling  bear  in  his  arms;  other  animals  flee  up  the  hill 
only  to  meet  the  slayers  there.

1877.  Genre,  landscape,  and  portrait  painter.  Sent  to  school  at  Besan^on,

treat  landscapes  until  1841,  at  Fontainebleau.  He  exhibited  in  1844,  though  it 
was  not  until  1849  that  he  first  attracted  attention.  Charged  with  being  the 
chief  instigator  of  the  overthrow  of  the  Colonne  Vendome,  May  16,  1871,  he 
was  sentenced  to  six  month's  imprisonment,  and  to  bear  the  cost  of  its

359  DAY  DREAMS. 

Sitting,  full  length,  leaning  back  in  a  chair  richly  upholstered  with  tapes- 
try, is  a  greaceful  youth  dressed  in  black  velvet;  a  small  white  collar  is  at  the 
neck  and  white  cuffs  are  at  the  wrists.  His  ideal  head  leans  against  the  back 
of  the  chair  as  he  watches  with  a  dreamy  expression  two  soap  bubbles  which 
float  in  the  air  before  him.  Relaxation  from  study  is  expressed  in  every  line 
of  the  figure  and  the  hands  which  lie  listlessly  by  his  side,  one  of  which  is  resting 
upon  the  seat  of  the  chair,  the  other  holds  the  straw  with  which  the  bubbles 
were  blown.  On  a  table  before  him  are  a  spinning  top,  a  glass  of  froth,  a 
bunch  of  school  books,  and  a  mirror  in  which  is  a  paper  with  the  inscription 
"Immortalite  de  I'Art";  and  above  the  youth's  head,  on  the  wall,  is  a  wreath 
of  laurel.    The  background  is  warm  gray.

GRAYER  (Craeyer),  Gaspard  de.    Flemish  School. 

Born  at  Antwerp,  1584;  died  at  Ghent,  1669.  Pupil  of  Raphael  Van 
Coxcyen,  in  Brussels,  a  contemporary  of  Rubens,  who,  it  is  said,  admired  his 
works.  He  was  also  the  friend  of  Van  Dyck,  who  painted  his  portrait. 
Crayer^s  pictures  were  mostly  of  biblical  subjects.  His  color  was  subdued,  but 
truthful;  he  had  a  free,  masterly  touch,  and  his  feeling  for  beauty  sometimes 
borders  on  the  ideal.  "The  Coronation  of  St.  RosaUe  by  the  Infant  Christ," 
in  the  Museum  at  Ghent,  is  one  of  his  finest  works;  this  picture  was  carried 
away  by  the  French,  but  returned.  The  "Martyrdom  of  St.  Blasius,"  in  the 
same  museum,  was  his  last  work,  executed  when  he  was  over  eighty  years  old. 
In  the  Munich  Gallery  there  is  an  immense  enthroned  Madonna  with  Angels, 
surrounded  by  Saints;  the  lower  figures  are  portraits  of  himself,  his  brother, 
sister,  and  nephew.    Works  of  his  are  also  in  the  Louvre,  Brussels  Gallery,  etc.

Diogenes  with  his  right  hand  extended  and  resting  upon  his  unsheathed  sword. 
Soldiers  clad  in  armor  and  holding  spears  surround  the  tub  in  which  Diogenes 
is  seated.  At  the  right  of  the  picture  an  equerry  with  a  dog  at  his  feet,  is 
folding  a  dapple-gray  horse  from  which  the  King  has  dismounted.

CROME,  John  (called  Old  Crome).    English  School. 

Born  at  Norwich,  1769;  died  there,  1821.  He  began  Hfe  as  a  doctor's 
boy,  and  afterwards  was  apprenticed  to  a  coach-painter.  He  took  to  land- 
scape-painting without  having  had  any  professional  training,  and  settled  at 
Norwich,  where  in  1805  he  founded  the  Norwich  Society  of  Artists.  He  was 
never  in  London  except  on  hasty  visits,  spending  his  entire  life  in  his  native 
town.    He  had  a  son  and  a  brother,  both  artists. 


In  the  center  of  the  picture  is  a  group  of  trees  with  a  winding  roadway 
beneath,  reaching  from  the  immediate  foreground  to  the  middle  distance 
where  there  are  cottages  and  farm  lands  in  a  bright  sunlight.  On  the  common 
at  the  left,  cattle  are  grazing,  and  a  team  of  horses  drawing  a  loaded  cart  are 
on  the  road  beneath  the  trees;  near  by  are  two  asses  standing  in  the  shade.

CU  YP,  Aelbert.    Dutch  School. 

Born  at  Dortrecht,  1620;  died  there,  1691.  This  highly  gifted  painter 
was  from  early  infancy  associated  with,  and  attracted  by,  the  beauties  of 
graphic  imitation.  His  father,  Jacob  Gerritz  Cuyp,  an  artist  of  no  inconsid- 
erable talent  both  in  portraiture  and  landscape,  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Academy  of  Painting  at  Dort,  and  it  was  from  him  that  Aelbert  received  his 
first  instructions,  and  in  his  early  works  may  be  traced  the  style  of  his  father. 
England  appreciated  and  purchased  his  works  long  before  his  own  country- 
men recognized  his  ability. 

260  LANDSCAPE  WITH  CATTLE. 

In  the  immediate  foreground,  beneath  a  glowing  sunset  sky,  a  large  group 
of  cattle  is  watched  over  by  a  cowherd  and  his  dog,  both  stretched  out  upon 
the  meadow  grass  near  by.  At  the  right,  and  beyond,  a  man  is  leading  a 
horse,  and  a  soldier  stands  watching  some  fishermen  drag  their  net  upon  the 
bank  of  the  stream  on  which  are  two  boats,  one  with  the  sail  spread.  Upon 
the  opposite  bank  are  two  mansions.  At  the  left  of  the  spectator  the  river 
fades  away  and  there  are  vapory  indications  of  a  distant  town  near  the 
horizon.

on  the  margin  of  which  lies  an  old  eel  basket  among  bulrushes  and  other 
aquatic  weeds;  a  stork  and  some  ducks  are  here  seen  in  their  element.  Three 
cows  are  in  the  meadow,  one  of  which  a  woman  in  a  red  dress  is  milking;  and 
another  is  lying  down.  A  dog  is  crouched  near  a  brass  can  on  the  foreground. 
At  some  distance  off  are  four  cows  slaking  their  thirst  in  the  stream."

bare  room  with  an  entrance  door  at  the  left,  and  at  the  right  a  window  screened 
with  a  rickety  old  green  blind  through  which  the  sunlight  breaks  in  streaks 
across  the  broken  slats.  At  the  left  of  the  group  is  a  burly  Spaniard  sitting 
squarely  to  the  front  with  his  large  mouth  wide  open,  singing.  His  face 
except  for  a  glint  of  light  on  his  temple  is  in  deep  shadow.  He  wears  a  white

feet.  At  his  left,  the  center  of  the  group,  is  a  young  woman  playing  the 
castanets.  Her  face  and  figure  are  to  the  front  in  deep  shadow;  she  wears  a 
black  dress  relieved  by  two  bright  red  bows;  her  bare  shoulders  are  visible 
through  a  heavy,  coarse  knit  shoulder  cape;  and  a  high  shell  comb  rises  above 
her  coal  black  hair.  Sitting  by  her  side  with  his  back  to  the  spectator  is  a 
man  leaning  over  to  the  right,  smoking  a  cigarette  and  playing  upon  a  guitar. 
Behind  this  group  is  another  man  who  stands  leaning  against  the  wall  by  the 
window  with  his  head  thrown  back  and  his  face  animated  by  the  song  he  sings 
and  the  mandolin  he  plays.

studio  combined,  he  made  long  excursions  on  the  Oise  and  Seine.  A  dweller 
in  the  open  air,  he  rendered  with  all  the  freshness  of  springtime,  the  tender 
accuracy  of  color,  which  contact  with  nature  alone  made  possible,  and  brought 
to  landscape  painting  an  unusual  grace.  Medals:  1848,  '53,  '55,  '57,  '59,  '67.

664  A 

DEPARTURE  OF  EMIGRANTS  FROM  HAVRE. 

A  steamship  lies  at  the  wharf  where  are  gathered  a  multitude  of  emi- 
grants, mostly  of  German  origin,  who  are  about  to  embark  for  a  foreign  land. 
In  the  foreground  at  the  right,  among  the  crowd  and  yet  a  little  apart,  is  a 
family  group.  The  mother  is  nursing  her  infant,  while  an  older  child,  fast 
asleep,  leans  heavily  against  her  shoulder.  The  father  is  stretched  out  at 
full  length,  with  his  head  resting  upon  his  left  hand;  and  a  cloud  of  blue 
smoke  curls  upward  from  a  pipe  which  he  is  smoking.  His  son  sits  idly  by, 
gazing  at  his  mother  and  the  infant.  An  older  sister  with  very  blond*  hair 
stands  by,  holding  a  child  in  her  arms.    In  the  center  of  the  picture  is  an  old 

35 


woman  with  a  large  bundle;  her  right  hand  is  extended  to  receive  from  a 
girl  who  sits  at  her  side  a  piece  of  bread,  which  has  been  taken  from  a  basket. 
Behind  these  stand  three  men  in  conversation,  one  of  whom  with  an  Alsatian 
air  is  smoking  a  large  German  pipe.  Sitting  at  the  left  is  a  man,  tired  and 
listless,  with  a  hat  in  his  right  hand,  and  by  him  is  a  young  German  girl  in  a 
tall  hat,  who  holds  with  both  hands  a  large  black  bag.  Beyond  are  a  mass 
of  people  huddled  together,  and  the  steamer,  broadside  on,  with  its  gang- 
planks out,  receiving  both  human  freight  and  baggage.  The  picture  is 
gray,  colorless,  and  depressing  both  in  subject  and  treatment.

Pujol,  David,  and  Ingres.  He  freed  himself  from  the  classical  style  of  his 
masters,  and  early  placed  himself  with  Delacroix,  as  a  [leader  of  the  modern 
romantic  French  school.  In  1827  he  visited  Greece,  Constantinople,  and  Asia 
Minor,  and  conceived  a  lasting  predilection  for  Oriental  subjects,  which  he 
treated  with  consummate  skill  and  power.

street  at  the  left  is  an  arch  through  which  the  blue  sky  is  visible.

jr^ENL^vEkEJr^DE  Rebecca:        ^r/L  Crin^ 

Rebecca,  a  character  in  Sir  Walter  Scott's  novel  "Ivanhoe,"  was  the 
daughter  of  Isaac  of  York.  She  secretly  loves  Ivanhoe  whom  she  cures  of  a 
wound,  and  repulses  at  the  peril  of  her  life  the  criminal  love  of  De  Bois  Guil- 
bert,  on  account  of  whose  mfatuation  she  is  condemned  as  a  witch,  but  is 
saved  by  the  sudden  death  of  her  accuser.  In  the  foreground,  Bois  Guilbert, 
mounted  on  a  restless  dapple  gray  horse,  has  turned  in  the  saddle  and  is  reach- 
ing out  to  receive  the  limp  form  of  the  swooning  maiden  from  the  hands  of  a 
knight,  who  has  borne  her  in  his  arms  from  the  burning  Chateau  Front  de 
Boeuf,  which  is  in  flames  on  the  crest  of  a  hill.  A  cavalier  at  full  gallop,  fol- 
lowed by  others,  is  about  to  arrive  from  the  scene  of  the  abduction.

389    SKIRMISH  BETWEEN  COSSACKS  AND  THE  IMPE- 
RIAL BODY-GUARD,  1814. 

Tearing  down  a  muddy  roadway  through  a  wood  of  leafless  trees  are  a 
squad  of  brigandish  looking  Cossacks,  pursued  and  overtaken  by  Napoleon's 
Imperial  Guard,  who  rush  upon  them  with  overwhelming  force,  cutting  right 
and  left  with  their  curved  swords.  The  leader  of  the  Cossack  band,  mounted 
on  a  light  horse  loaded  with  plunder,  turns  in  his  saddle  with  a  ready  pistol 
raised  to  shoot.  Others  are  scattering  through  the  woods,  and  at  the  left,  one 
has  clutched  a  soldier  to  drag  him  off  his  horse.  The  long  spears  of  the  Cos- 
sacks in  a  conflict  like  this  are  of  little  use  and  there  is  safety  only  in  flight.

662  THE  DEFENSE  OF  CHAMPIGNY. 

Paris,  May  29, 1897. 

Mr.  Henry  Hilton. 

My  Dear  Sir:  I  have  learned  with  great  pleasure  that  you  have  become 
the  purchaser  of  my  painting,  exhibited  this  year  in  our  Art  Salon,  and  I  am 
happy  that  it  finds  a  place  in  your  gallery,  which  enjoys  a  very  great  reputation 
in  France.  I  know  that  I  shall  be  "in  good  company"  with  you,  and  it  is  so 
much  the  more  gratifying  to  me,  as  I  consider  this  last  painting  the  most  im- 
portant work  I  have  ever  produced. 

The  episode  which  I  have  chosen  gives  scope  for  a  great  development  of 
subject.  It  is  the  moment  when  the  division  of  General  Faron  (now  msp)ector 
of  Mame),  after  having  taken  Champigny,  situated  above  the  Mame,  fortified 
itself  in  the  village  and  defended,  foot  by  foot,  the  house  and  enclosures  against 
the  return  attack  of  the  Saxony  and  Wiirtemberg  divisions,  in  the  battle  of  2d 
December,  1870.  The  ch§,teau  which  I  have  shown  is  one  of  those  which  are 
found  at  the  fork  of  the  two  roads  at  Chennevi^res — a  place  well  known  to 
those  Parisians  who  took  part  in  the  scenes  of  the  siege  of  Paris.    The  officer 


89 


shown  in  the  center  of  the  picture  is  General  Faron,  who  was  appointed  Gen- 
eral of  Division  on  the  field  of  battle.  The  foot  soldiers  belong  to  the  113th 
Regiment  of  the  Line,  who  lost  a  great  number  in  the  three  days  of  fight.  The 
Sappers,  who  are  making  the  embrasures  in  the  wall  to  allow  the  sharpshooters 
to  fire  under  protection,  and  are  barricading  the  opening  with  all  kinds  of 
material;  the  artillerists,  who  are  placing  the  battery  guns  in  position ;  all  like- 
wise were  under  the  orders  of  General  Faron,  who  at  this  time  commanded  the 
right  wing  of  the  French  army. 

I  have  endeavored  to  portray,  in  the  most  exact  manner  possible,  the  vari- 
ous scenes  of  which  I  was  a  witness,  having  been  myself  a  soldier  in  the 
"Garde  Mobile"  during  the  siege  of  Paris;  and  in  painting  this  work  I  have 
had  the  advantage  of  being  able  to  reproduce  some  souvenirs  absolutely  per- 
sonal. I  attach,  therefore,  much  importance  to  this  painting,  and  am  specially 
desirous — outside  of  the  Paris  Exhibition — for  permission  to  exhibit  it  in  Ger- 
many ,where  I  have  been  very  particularly  solicited  to  show  my  military  works. 

I  particularly  desire  to  be  represented  at  this  international  gathering,  and 
I  have  selected  naturally  this  my  most  important  work.  It  is  the  first  time 
since  the  war  of  1870  that  French  art  has  been  exhibited  in  Germany,  and  the 
presence  of  mlitary  paintings  recalling  souvenirs  of  the  late  war  will  add  a 
peculiar  piquancy, 

I  have  always  been  very  sensible  of  the  favors  shown  me  in  America,  and

DIAZ  DE  LA  PENA,  Narciso  Virgilio.  Barhizon  School. 

Bom  at  Bordeaux,  of  Spanish  parents,  1809;  died  at  Mentone,  1860.  Diaz 
was  one  of  those  who  gave  celebrity  to  the  village  of  Barbizon,  in  the  forest  of 
Fontainebleau.  Anything  served  him  as  a  pretext  for  bringing  to  light  his 
marvelous  aptitude  as  a  colorist.  He  rendered  with  equal  facility  the  enchant- 
ments of  the  landscape  flooded  with  sunshine,  and  the  deep  forest  in  luminous 
twilight,  or  nymphs  with  flesh  of  exquisite  tone;  and  dazzled  the  eye  with  all 
the  seductions  of  a  grand  colorist.  Medals:  third  class,  1844;  second  class, 
1846;  first  class,  1848.    Legion  of  Honor,  1851.

on  the  shoulder  of  the  Child  who  is  leaning  upon  her  lap.  A  woody  landscape 
forms  the  background.

Bom  at  Weimar,  1712;  died  at  Dresden,  1774.  Pupil  of  his  father  and 
Alexander  Thiele,  and  succeeded  well  in  copying  the  works  of  Rembrandt, 
Everdingen,  Ostade,  Poelemberg,  Heinrich  Roos  and  Salvator  Rosa.  He 
had  no  originality,  and  his  color  and  execution  were  subject  to  much  criti- 
cism, yet  he  had  great  popularity,  and  his  works  are  numerous.  The 
Dresden  Gallery  has  fifty-one,  and  all  the  German  Galleries  have  specimens 
of  his  works.  In  the  National  Gallery  the  "Wandering  Musicians"  is  an 
unusually  good  work  of  this  artist.

454  INTERIOR  WITH  FIGURES. 

The  light  from  a  casement  window  at  the  left  center  falls  full  upon  a  group 
of  soldiers  who  surround  a  small  table  and  are  playing  at  cards.  One  man 
with  a  pitcher  in  his  hand  stands  leaning  over  watching  the  game,  and  another 
who  is  standing  behind  the  table  is  smoking  a  long  clay  pipe.  Behind  this 
group  is  a  large  chimney-piece  and  in  the  shadow  beyond  at  the  end  of  the

Strasburg,  1833;  died  at  Paris,  1883.  Illustrated  periodicals  when  fifteen 
years  of  age.  Exhibited  in  Salon,  1848,  pen  and  ink  landscape  drawings,  and 
in  1855  his  first  oil  picture,  "Battle  of  the  Alma,"  which  was  followed  in  1857 
by  the  "Battle  of  Inkerman."  The  great  wealth  of  his  imagination,  and 
wonderful  facility  of  execution,  led  him  into  exaggerations  which  deprived 
him  of  fame  as  an  historical  painter. 

349  THE  RETREAT  FROM  MOSCOW. 

Napoleon's  army  is  in  full  retreat  over  a  frozen  waste.  In  the  foreground

turned army  wagon  are  at  the  left,  and  a  group  of  Russian  soldiers  appear  in 
the  middle  distance.  A  cold,  leaden  sky  overhangs  the  scene,  and  vultures 
flock  in  swarms  above  the  field.

DUPRE,  Jules.    Barbizon  School. 

Bom  at  Nantes,  1811 ;  died  at  LTsle-Adam,  1889.  One  of  the  most  original 
and  powerful  painters  of  the  modem  French  School.  At  twelve  years  of  age  he 
was  the  principal  decorator  in  his  father's  porcelain  factory  on  the  banks  of  the 
Oise.    "It  was  in  the  contemplation  of  nature,  in  his  isolation  amidst  her 

43 


influences,  that  the  mind  of  the  lad  wa&  opened  to  her  beauty,  and  that  her 
mystery  was  sounded  by  his  thought.  In  his  hours  of  freedom  the  boy  used 
to  wander  over  the  fields  with  sketch-book  and  pencil.  No  professor  inter- 
posed himself  between  this  talent  in  its  birth  and  what  it  portrayed.  What 
he  was  ignorant  of  he  asked  but  of  her;  what  he  learned  was  from  her  teaching. 
At  eighteen  the  little  china  painter  had  become  a  young  master.  At  sixty,  he 
was  the  illustrious,  respected,  veteran  of  the  School  of  1830 — Delacroix,  Rous- 
seau, Diaz,  Corot,  Barye,  Millet,  Decamps,  and  Troyon."  Medals:  second

At  the  right,  is  an  old  woman  with  a  red  kerchief  on  her  head  and  a  boy  is 
in  the  grass  at  her  feet.  Standing  by  the  boy  is  an  old  man  with  a  straw 
hat  upon  his  head  and  further  on  is  a  young  girl.  At  the  left,  a  man  on  his 
knees  in  the  grass  with  his  arms  full  of  the  new-mown  hay  is  looking  up  at 
the  novel  sight.  There  are  a  few  tall  trees  scattered  about  and  a  hill  borders 
the  fields  at  the  right.

DURAND,  Asher  Brown.    American  School. 


Born  at  South  Orange,  N.  J.,  August  21,  1796;  died  there,  1886.  He 
studied  engraving  with  his  father  and  with  Peter  Maverick,  whose  partner 
he  became  in  1817.  His  "Declaration  of  Independence,"  after  Trumbull, 
first  brought  him  into  prominent  notice  as  an  engraver.  He  was  one  of  the 
original  members  of  the  National  Academy  of  Design,  organized  in  1826, 
and  was  elected  president  at  the  resignation  of  Professor  Morse  in  1845,  a 
position  he  held  until  1861.  About  1835  he  resolved  to  become  a  painter, 
and  until  the  time  of  his  death  devoted  himself  to  that  branch  of  the  pro- 
fession. Among  the  better  known  of  his  earlier  works  are:  "Harvey  Birch 
and  Washington,"  "The  Wrath  of  Peter  Stuyvesant,"  "The  Capture  of 
Andre,"  "Dance  on  the  Battery,"  "The  Forest  Primeval,"  and  "Franconia 
Mountains." 

Many  of  his  pictures  have  been  engraved.

The  original  picture  is  life-size,  and  is  now  in  the  Pennsylvania  Academy 
of  Fine  Arts,  Philadelphia.

DURER,  Albrecht  (?).    German  School. 

Bom  at  Nuremberg,  1471;  died  there,  1528.  This  artist,  if  not  really 
the  founder  of  the  German  school,  perfected  the  art  which  already  existed 
in  his  country.    He  was  a  sculptor,  architect,  and  painter.    His  drawing 

45 


was  rich  in  life  and  expression;  his  coloring  very  unequal;  his  nude  figures 
ugly  and  vulgar,  and  his  love  for  the  fantastic  prevented  him  from  becoming 
what  he  might  otherwise  have  been.  He  became  a  disciple  of  Michael  Wolge- 
muth,  in  whose  atelier  he  remained  three  years.  In  1490  he  set  out  on  hia 
travels,  and  in  1494  returned  to  Nuremberg  and  settled  himself  as  a  painter. 
He  remained  there  ten  years.  In  1505  he  went  to  Venice,  Padua  and  Bo- 
logna. The  following  year  he  returned  to  Nuremberg,  where  he  remained  till 
1520,  and  executed  an  immense  number  of  paintings,  drawings,  engravings, 
and  some  carved  works  in  boxwood  and  steatite.  He  then  made  a  journey 
into  the  Netherlands,  was  absent  about  a  year,  and  returned  to  his  native 
city,  never  to  leave  it  again.  Although  his  pictures  are  scarce,  the  large  Ger- 
man Galleries  have  specimens  of  his  work.  "The  Four  Temperaments"  are 
now  in  the  Pinakothek  at  Munich,  this  Gallery  has  also  five  large  pictures 
of  the  life  of  Christ.  The  Virgin  holding  the  naked  Child  in  her  arms  is  now 
in  the  Belvedere  at  Vienna.  These  are  but  a  small  part  of  the  important 
works  of  D'drer;  the  Berlin  Gallery  has  several,  and  the  Dresden  Gallery  four.

Lent  by  Mrs.  Israel  Corse.  On  panel.  12^  H.';  9i  W. 

DIJCK,  Sir  Anthony  (Antoon)  van.    Flemish  School. 

Bom  at  Antwerp,  1599;  died  at  London,  1641.  The  most  distinguished 
of  Rubens'  pupils.  One  of  the  many  great  artists  whose  gifts  showed  them- 
selves almost  from  birth.  He  was  the  son  of  a  glass  painter.  At  ten  he  had 
already  begun  to  paint;  at  fifteen  he  had  entered  Rubens'  studio;  and  at 
nineteen  he  was  himself  a  "master." 

For  five  years  (1620-25)  he  was  traveling  and  painting  in  Italy,  with 
letters  of  introduction  from  Rubens,  and  on  his  return  to  Antwerp  he  at  once 
became  the  court  painter  of  his  time.  Queens  visited  him  in  his  studio,  and 
the  nobility  of  three  nations  considered  it  an  honor  to  be  painted  by  him. 

He  twice  visited  London,  in  1620  and  in  1627,  before  he  finally  settled 
there  in  1632.

On  his  first  presentation  to  Charles  I,  he  obtained  permission  to  paint 
the  king  and  queen.  He  was  appointed  painter  to  the  court,  was  knighted, 
and  received  a  pension  of  £200.  A  town  house  was  given  him  at  Black- 
friars  and  a  country  house  at  Eltham. 

He  always  went  magnificently  dressed,  had  a  numerous  and  gallant 
equipage,  and  kept  so  good  a  table  in  his  apartment  that  few  princes  were 
more  visited  or  better  served. 

For  seven  years  Van  Dyck  worked  at  the  portraits  of  the  English  aris- 
tocracy with  indefatigable  industry.  Nearly  half  of  all  his  known  pictures 
are  in  England  (a  large  collection  of  them  was  brought  together  at  the  Gros- 
venor  Gallery  in  1887),  but  in  the  National  Gallery  he  is  at  present  incom- 
pletely represented.  There  are  no  pictures  there  either  of  women  or  of  children 
in  both  of  which  he  excelled. 

The  last  two  years  of  his  life  were  mainly  spent  in  traveling  with  his 
young  wife,  the  granddaughter  of  Lord  Ruthven.  He  died  when  only  forty- 
two,  and  was  buried  in  the  old  Church  of  St.  Paul's. 

Van  Dyck  was  essentially  the  painter  of  princes,  distinguished  by  the 
indelible  mark  of  courtly  grace  and  refinement  which  he  gave  to  all  his  sitters.

clasping  his  nostrils,  represents  the  plague.  A  third  is  lifting  the  mantle 
calling  the  attention  of  the  Saint  to  the  distress  below.  At  the  left  hand 
upper  corner  another  cherub  is  seen  crowning  the  Saint  with  a  wreath  of 
roses.  Beneath  the  group  far  away  under  the  horizon  are  vapory  indica-

ish School. 

Bom  at  Reus,  Catalonia,  Spain,  1841;  died  at  Rome,  1874.  His 
parents  were  poor.  Drawing  was  his  absorbing  passion.  In  1847  he 
attended  a  public  course  in  drawing  in  his  native  town.  At  12  years  of  age 
he  began  the  study  of  painting,  and  while  so  engaged  he  lost  both  of  his 
parents,  which  intensified  his  unfortunate  lot.  In  1857  he  won  the  Prix 
de  Rome  from  Spain,  and  from  that  time  he  quickly  rose  to  fame.  His  career 
was  as  brilliant  as  it  was  short.  In  1867,  already  celebrated  among  painters, 
he  married  M'lle  CeciUa  de  Madrazo,  the  sister  of  the  celebrated  artist  Ray-

and  the  left  toys  with  a  jewel  attached  to  a  gold  chain.  A  crisp  white  linen 
collar  is  about  the  neck  and  a  coral  pin  and  buttons  adorn  the  dress.  The

was  called  Ghirlandajo  (the  garland-twiner),  which  name  descended  to  his 
children.  Vasari  says  he  studied  under  Fra  Bartolommeo.  He  became  a 
mosaic-worker  and  celebrated  painter.  He  introduced  in  his  picture  the  por- 

58 


traits  of  celebrated  and  important  personages  of  his  time,  and  was  original  in 
many  ways.  His  life  is  a  landmark  in  the  history  of  Florentine  art.  In  the 
technicalities  of  fresco  painting  he  excelled.  His  works  are  highly  finished, 
and  may  be  seen  in  the  Louvre;  six  pictures  in  the  Berlin  Museum,  and  others

before  a  cheval  glass.  A  fur-trimmed  white  satin  robe  is  wound  about  her 
figure;  the  low  white  chemise,  bare  neck  and  arms,  and  abundant  blonde 
hair  are  relieved  against  a  red  ground.

GOYA  Y  LUCIENTES,  Francisco  Jose.    Spanish  School. 

Bom  at  Fuendetodos  (Aragon)  1746;  died  at  Bordeaux  1828.  Studied 
first  under  Jos6  Luxan  Martinez  and,  after,  some  years  in  Rome.  In  1774  re- 
turned to  Spain  and  settled  in  Madrid.  Painted  pictures  of  religious  subjects 
and  portraits,  and  found  continual  employment  among  the  nobility;  but  his 
chief  excellence  was  that  of  a  satirist  with  the  pencil.  He  may  be  called  the 
Hogarth  in  Spain.  He  parodied  the  religious  pictures  and  painted  priests  in 
the  form  of  asses  and  apes,  and  was  never  weary  of  making  the  Hierosnymite 
and  Franciscan  friars  ridiculous.  He  painted  with  dashing  boldness,  some- 
times executing  an  entire  piece  with  his  palette  knife  and  put  in  the  delicate 
touches  of  sentiment  with  his  thumb.  /       .       *  Of

THE  NATIVITY. 


Mary,  the  Mother,  clad  in  a  crimson  robe  with  a  blue  mantle  over  her 
shoulders,  sits  in  the  center  of  the  picture  and  holds  with  both  hands  a  white 
drapery  upon  which  Hes  the  Infant  from  whom  emanates  the  celestial  light 
which  illumines  the  place.  Joseph  is  at  the  right  -with  arms  outstretched  in 
grand  dilection:  while  adoring  shepherds  are  at  the  left  where  one  kneels  with 
folded  arms  across  his  breast;  another  in  a  coat  of  golden  hue  bends  forward 
with  clasped  hands  as  he  looks  down  in  adoration  of  the  Infant  before  him; 
and  another  dressed  all  in  white,  and  standing  in  the  full  glow  of  light,  with 
outstretched  arms  proclaims  through  the  arched  doorway  to  those  outside

GREUZE,  Jean-Baptiste.    French  School. 

Bom  at  Tournus,  near  Macon,  August  21,  1725;  died  at  the  Louvre,  in 
Paris,  March  21,  1805.  Genre  and  portrait  painter.  Pupil  at  Lyons  of 
Gromdon;  he  studied  afterwards  in  the  Academy  at  Paris  and  at  Rome.  His 
first  picture,  "A  Father  Explaining  the  Bible  to  His  Children,"  seemed  to 
exceed  anything  that  was  expected  of  Greuze.  He  was  elected  an  agrei  or 
Associate  of  the  French  Academy  of  Painting,  in  1755,  when  his  picture, 
"UAveugle  trompe,"  was  exhibited,  and  in  the  same  year  he  went  to  Italy 
with  the  Ahh6  Gougenot.  In  1761  his  "  L'Accordde  de  Village"  (Louvre) 
excited  the  greatest  enthusiasm.  Angry  at  being  received  into  the  Academy 
(1769)  as  &  genre  and  not  as  a  history  painter,  Greuze  retired  for  a  time  to 
Anjou  whence  he  retumed  to  exhibit  pictures  which  attracted  all  Paris.  Ex- 
hibited at  the  Salons  of  1755,  1757,  1759,  1761,  1763,  1765.  1769,  ISOO,  1801, 
1804.  He  amassed  a  large  fortune,  but  lost  it  during  the  Revolution.  Neg- 
lected by  the  public,  which  admired  only  the  new  school  of  David,  Greuze  psissed 
his  last  years  in  misery  and  regret.  His  wife,  who  was  Mile.  Barbuty,  whose 
charming  face  appears  in  so  many  of  his  pictures,  was  an  extravagant  and 
worthless  woman,  from  whom  he  was  separated  long  before  his  death.

GUARDI,  Francesco.    Venetian  School. 

Bom  at  Venice,  1712;  died  there,  1793.  Pupil  of  Canaletto.  He  painted 
the  same  class  of  subjects  as  his  master,  and  the  works  of  the  two  are  some- 
times confounded;  but  those  of  Guardi  are  more  sketchy  than  Canaletto's. 
They  are  spirited  and  lifelike,  have  countless  figures,  gondolas,  etc.,  all  of 
which  show  a  freedom  of  execution;  while  his  sharp  touches  of  light  and 
bright  colors  give  spirit  and  sparkling  effect.

HALS,  Frans.    Dutch  School 

Bom  at  Antwerp,  about  1580  or  1581;  died  at  Haariem,  1666.  Pupil 
of  Karel  Van  Mander.  One  of  the  merriest  and  brightest-witted  of  ail  the 
Dutch  portrait  painters. 

He  was  the  founder  of  a  National  style  and  a  portrait  painter  to  be  ranked 

65 


with  the  greatest  masters;  his  unusual  talent  excited  the  admiration  of  Van 
Dyck. 

His  flesh  coloring  is  vital;  handling  broad,  masterly,  and  vigorous.  Hia 
facility  and  intemperate  habits  led  him  to  be  careless,  and  his  pictures  are  of 
unequal  merit.  He  painted  large  pictures  of  archers  and  civic  guards.  The 
best  of  these  may  be  seen  at  Haarlem  in  the  Hotel-de-Ville.  In  an  apartment 
of  the  Oitde  Man  Huys,  a  benevolent  institution,  there  are  two  other  fina 
works  of  this  class.

HAYDON,  Benjamin  Robert.  English  School. 

Born  at  Plymouth,  1786;  died  at  London,  1846.  Student  at  the  Royal 
Academy  in  1805;  exhibited  in  1809  his  ''Dentatus  Murdered  by  His  Own 
Soldiers,"  but,  dissatisfied  with  the  position  assigned  it,  refused  to  contrib- 
ute any  more.  After  painting  portraits  in  Plymouth,  he  won  a  considerable 
reputation  in  1814  by  his  ''Judgment  of  Solomon."  In  1820  he  produced 
"Christ's  Triumphant  Entry  into  Jerusalem,"  the  exhibition  of  which,  in 
London,  brought  him  three  thousand  guineas;  but  it  procured  him  no  com- 
missions, and  was  finally  sold  for  two  hundred  and  forty  pounds  and  sent 
to  America.  It  is  now  in  Cincinnati.  Though  in  great  pecuniary  difficulties, 
and  several  times  in  the  debtor's  prison,  he  still  clung  to  the  belief  that  he 
was  the  great  historical  painter  of  the  age,  and  that  in  time  his  efforts  would 
be  appreciated.  But  he  was  at  last  overwhelmed  by  his  disappointments 
and  troubles  and  committed  suicide.  Haydon's  lectures  on  Paintings  were 
published  in  1844-46,  and  his  life,  from  his  autobiography  and  journals, 
edited  and  compiled  by  Tom  Taylor,  in  1853.

(These  two  Swedish  Bishops  had  sought  refuge  after  their  unsuccessful 
rebellion  in  Delame,  against  Gustavus  I,  with  the  Archbislfop  Olaf,  in  Tron- 
heim;  but  the  latter  treacherously  betrayed  them  to  the  King's  servants, 
who,  dressing  them  in  rags,  and  putting  a  crown  of  straw  on  Sonnavater's 
head,  and  a  mitre  of  birch-bark  on  Knut's,  mounted  them  on  starving  horses 
and  brought  them  through  Upsala  to  Stockholm  in  a  Shrove-tide  procession, 
amidst  jeers  and  insults.  They  were  led  to  the  market-place,  and,  after 
drinking  to  the  executioner's  health,  were  broken  on  the  wheel).    Dated,  1870.

379  HEIDELBERG  BY  MOONLIGHT. 

The  full  moon  in  a  mass  of  light  fleecv  clouds  has  risen  over  the  city  of 
Heidelberg  illuminating  the  river  below,  where  fishermen  in  a  boat  are  draw- 
ing a  net;  the  glimmer  of  lights  comes  from  the  houses,  and  horses  and  men 
are  moving  mysteriously  about  in  the  shadowy  foreground.

HOGARTH,  William.    English  School 

Born  at  London,  1697;  died  there,  1764.  He  was  apprenticed  at  an 
early  age  to  a  silver  plate  engraver,  and  when  twenty-three  years  old  set 
up  in  business  on  his  own  account.  Amongst  other  works  of  the  kind  he 
engraved  twelve  plates  for  Butler's  "Hudibras."  He  entered  the  school  of 
Sir  James  Thornhill,  Serjeant-painter  to  the  king,  whose  daughter  he  married 
clandestinely  in  1729.  The  work  which  first  established  his  fame  was  the 
series  of  the  "Harlot's  Progress,"  which  was  immediately  followed  by  the 
''Rake's  Progress,"  now  in  the  Soane  Museum.  These  works  are  similar  in 
scope  and  design  to  the  "Marriage  a  la  Mode"  series  purchased  from  the 
Angerstein  collection  by  the  National  Gallery,  London,  1824.  The  engrav- 
ings made  by  Hogarth  from  these  pictures  brought  him  both  money  and 
fame.

HOLBEIN,  Hans  (the  Younger).  (?)    German  School 

Bom  at  Augsburg,  probably  in  the  year  1497;  died  at  London,  1543. 
A  drawing  of  the  year  1509  is  the  earhest  known  work  of  this  painter. 

He  was  instructed  by  his  father.    About  1516  he  removed  to  Basle.  The 

74 


works  which  have  been  ascribed  to  him  in  that  city  are  innumerable.  In 
1517  he  was  called  to  Lucerne  to  decorate  a  house,  which  was  still  in  existence 
in  1824;  in  1519  he  entered  the  Guild  of  Painters  at  Basle,  and  formed  hi« 
friendship  with  Boniface  Amerbach.  Holbein's  portrait  of  this  friend  is  one 
of  his  very  best;  the  "  Fountain  of  Life,"  now  at  Lisbon,  in  the  palace  of  the 
King  of  Portugal,  was  also  painted  this  year.  In  1521  he  decorated  the 
Rathaiis  or  Town  Hall.  It  was  at  this  time  that  he  painted  a  portrait  of 
Erasmus;  a  life-size  picture  of  "Christ  lying  in  the  Tomb,"  and  "Holbein's 
wife  and  children,"  representing  Franz,  the  son  of  the  widow  Schmid,  whom 
he  married,  and  his  own  son  Phihp.  The  mother  is  a  coarse-looking,  un- 
attractive woman.  It  is  said  that  Holbein  was  driven  from  Basle  by  his 
wife's  temper,  but  that  he  contributed  to  her  support  at  all  times. 

His  "Madonna,"  at  Darmstadt  (the  better  known  copy  of  which  is  at 
Dresden),  is  one  of  the  great  religious  pictures  of  the  world.  Soon  after  its 
completion  Holbein  went  to  England,  bearing  a  letter  of  introduction  from 
Erasmus  to  Sir  Thomas  More,  who  at  once  received  him  with  kindness. 
1527  was  the  year  in  which  Henry  VIII  fell  in  love  with  Anne  Boleyn.  This 
was  the  first  year  of  Holbein's  occupation  in  England,  but  he  does  not  appear 
to  have  entered  the  King's  service  until  after  1530.  In  the  meantime  he 
painted  Sir  Thomas  More's  family  and  friends,  among  them.  Archbishop 
Warham  and  Sir  Henry  Gilford  both  fine  and  important  pictures.  In  1528 
he  painted  Sir  Thomas  and  John  Godsalve,  on  the  same  panel,  now  at  Dresden; 
and  the  astronomer,  Kratzer,  now  in  the  Louvre.  Holbein  returned  to 
Basle  in  1530,  and  completed  the  frescos  in  the  Town  House.  This  being 
done,  he  returned  to  England.  The  superb  portrait  of  George  Gyzen,  at 
Berlin,  was  painted  in  1532.  After  1533  Holbein  rarely  dated  his  pictures, 
and  there  is  no  authentic  portrait  by  him  of  Anne  Boleyn,  or  her  daughter, 
the  Princess  Elizabeth,  although  Holbein  painted  many  portraits  of  the 
Royal  family. 

231     PORTRAIT  OF  ARCHBISHOP  CRANMER. 

Wearing  a  long  forked  beard,  and  clad  in  a  black  fur-trimmed  gown, 
with  a  black  cap  on  his  head,  he  is  standing  behind  a  table  covered  with 
green  cloth,  on  which  are  an  hour  glass,  a  book,  and  a  sheet  of  paper  on  which 
is  inscribed  in  finely  formed  characters  the  Latin  version  of  the  fifth  chapter 
of  2d  Corinthians.  On  the  seal  is  a  coat-of-arms,  with  a  Bishop's  or  Arch- 
bishop's crozier;  behind  it,  the  armorial  bearings,  although  somewhat  indis- 
tinct from  the  small  size  of  the  seal,  are  obviously  those  of  Cranmer,  impaling 
the  Episcopal  Arms  of  the  See  of  Canterbury.  The  date,  1539,  is  painted 
in  the  left-hand  lower  corner  of  the  picture.  From  the  collection  of  Mr. 
Jesse  of  Bathofam  Park,  Ruthin,  North  Wales.

HONDIUS,  Abraham.   Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Rotterdam,  before  1638;  died  at  London,  1695.  He  lived  many 
years  in  England.  His  favorite  subjects  were  dogs.  He  acquired  a  good 
reputation,  but  his  pictures  are  open  to  grave  criticism.  His  drawing  is 
incorrect,  and  his  color  not  pleasing.  His  very  rare  etchings  do  him  more 
honor  as  an  artist  than  his  paintings. 

85  WILD  BOAR  HUNTING. 

Beneath  a  clear  sky  in  a  thickly  wooded  landscape  a  wild  boar  at  the 
end  of  the  chase  is  making  its  last  effort  to  escape.  The  huntsmen,  one 
mounted,  the  other  afoot,  are  urging  the  pack  of  hounds  which  surround 
their  victim  to  complete  their  task;  two  of  the  hounds  have  been  killed  and 
lie  dead  at  the  feet  of  the  boar.

HOOCH  (Hoogh),  Pieter  de.   Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Utrecht,  1630;  died  at  Amsterdam,  probably  shortly  after  1677. 
Genre  painter.  Formed  himself  under  the  influence  of  Karel  Fabritius  and 
Rembrandt.  Worked  at  Delft,  where  he  entered  the  Guild  in  1655,  perhaps 
also  at  Haarlem. 

One  of  the  most  original  artists  of  the  Dutch  School.  He  painted  court- 
yard scenes  and  interiors  with  figures;  in  the  latter  he  usually  represented 
two  rooms,  one  of  which  was  flooded  with  sunlight;  in  these  effects  he  is 
unequaled.

HOOGSTRATEN,  Samuel  van.  Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Dordrecht,  1627;  died  there,  1678.  He  was  a  pupil  of  liis  father, 
Theodore  van  Hoogstraaten,  and  afterwards  of  Rembrandt,  at  Amsterdam. 
He  occasionally  painted  landscapes  and  still-life,  but  his  greatest  successes 
were  in  portraits,  which  he  at  first  executed  in  the  dark  and  vigorous  style 
of  Rembrandt,  but  afterwards  changed  to  a  more  clear  and  agreeable  manner, 
much  to  the  advantage  of  his  immediate  popularity,  but  not  of  his  permanent 
fame. 

228    PORTRAIT  OF  A  GENTLEMAN  AND  LADY.

Bom  at  Antwerp,  1714;  died  after  1790.  There  were  two  artists  by 
this  name,  father  and  son.  They  painted  similar  subjects,  conversation 
pieces.  The  characters  in  the  pictures  of  the  father  were  usually  peasants, 
while  those  of  the  son  were  from  the  higher  walks  of  life.  Their  works  are 
not  uncommon  in  England,  and  are  in  the  Antwerp  Museum,  and  the  Cassel 
and  Dresden  Galleries.

HOVENDEN,  Thomas.    American  School. 

Bom  at  Dunmanway,  County  Cork,  Ireland,  December  28,  1840;  died, 
1895.  Studied  in  the  Cork  School  of  Design.  Came  to  New  York  in  1863, 
and  entered  the  school  of  the  N.A.D.  In  1874  went  to  Paris,  where  he 
studied  under  Cabanel,  returning  to  the  United  States  in  1880.  Elected 
A.N.A.  1881;  N.A.  in  1882.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia 
Society  of  Artists,  American  Water  Color,  American  Artists'  Societies,  and 
the  Artists'  Fund.  Mr.  Hovenden  was  run  over  and  instantly  killed  by  a

mouth Meeting,  Pa.,  where  he  lived. 

193        LAST  MOMENTS  OF  JOHN  BROWN. 

A  distinguished  champion  of  liberty;  bom  at  Torrington,  Conn.,  in  May, 
1800.  His  father  removed  to  Ohio  in  1805.  From  the  age  of  fifteen  to  twenty 
he  worked  at  the  trade  of  tanner  and  currier.  According  to  Redpath,  he  con- 
ceived in  1839  the  idea  of  becoming  a  liberator  of  the  Southern  slaves.  He 
was  a  devout  member  of  the  Congregational  Church,  and  a  man  of  strict  moral 
character,  unflinching  courage,  and  intense  earnestness.  He  emigrated  to 
Kansas  in  1855,  where  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  contest  with  the  pro- 
slavery  party.  In  August,  1856,  he  gained  some  advantages  at  Ossawatomie 
over  a  band  of  Missourians  who  had  invaded  Kansas,  and  were  ten  times  more 
numerous  than  his  own  company.  In  May,  1859,  he  called  a  secret  convention 
of  the  friends  of  freedom,  which  met  at  Chatham,  in  Canada,  organized  an 
invasion  of  Virginia  for  the  purpose  of  liberating  the  slaves,  and  adopted  a  con- 
stitution. In  the  following  July  he  rented  a  farmhouse  about  six  miles  from 
Harper's  Ferry,  and  collected  there  a  supply  of  pikes,  guns,  etc.  On  the  night 
of  October  16,  1859,  aided  by  about  twenty  men,  he  surprised  Harper's  Ferry, 
seized  the  arsenal  and  armory,  and  took  over  forty  prisoners.  About  noon  on 
the  17th  the  party  of  Brown  was  attacked  by  the  Virginia  militia.  After  two

79 


the  social  problems  of  the  day.  Member  of  the  Amsterdam  and  Fhiladeiphia 
Academies.  Visited  America  in  1874—75.  He  was  one  of  the  most  active

629  THE  POACHERS  DEATH. 

The  wounded  poacher  and  his  son  are  in  the  immediate  foreground 
making  a  superhuman  effort  to  reach  their  cabin  which  is  built  in  the  side 
of  a  limestone  ledge.  The  terrified  son  with  his  right  arm  supporting  his 
father  and  his  left  extended  to  the  latch  of  the  door  is  straining  every  nerve 
and  muscle  to  drag  his  father  to  safety;  but  the  waning  strength,  pallid  face 
and  glassy  eyes  denote  a  fatal  wound.  The  father  presses  his  right  hand 
to  the  back  of  his  neck  where  the  bullet  entered,  and  with  his  left  grasps  the 
shoulder  of  his  son  for  support.  Upon  a  white  horse,  at  the  edge  of  the 
wood,  with  the  game-keeper  who  fired  the  fatal  shot,  is  the  lord  of  the  estate. 
A  large  hound  is  springing  up  in  a  field  of  ripe  grain,  and  nearby  lie  a  dead 
boar  and  the  poacher's  gun.

HUGHTENBURGH  (Hugtenburch),  Jan  van.    Dutch  School. 

Born  at  Haarlem,  1646;  died  at  Amsterdam,  1733.  He  studied  under 
Thomas  Wijck,  but  especially  under  Van  der  Meulen  at  Paris.  Visited  Rome 
and  returned  to  Holland  in  1670.  He  painted  landscapes,  hunts,  and  battle 
pieces.  The  latter  are  his  best  works.  About  1708  he  received  commissions 
from  Duke  Eugene  de  Savoie,  and  an  excellent  picture  of  Hendrik  Casimir  II, 
Prince  of  Nassau,  on  horseback,  is  in  The  Hague  Gallery;  others  are  in  the 
Louvre  and  Amsterdam  Museums.  His  chef-d'auvre,  the  "Siege  of  Namur," 
is  in  the  Vienna  Gallery.  He  had  good  inventive  powers,  drew  correctly, 
and  had  facility  of  execution,  but  his  color  was  not  equal  to  his  other  qualities. 

4  REPOSE  AFTER  THE  HUNT. 

There  is  a  broad  open  landscape  with  small  trees.  The  spoils  of  the 
chase  lie  in  the  immediate  foreground,  and  standing  near  by  are  three  horses 
with  a  groom  at  their  heads;  one  is  white,  the  others  dark  bay.  Beyond  at 
the  left  are  a  group  of  merry  people  and  a  couple  leading  off  in  a  dance ;  near 
these  are  two  mounted  hunters,  a  coach,  and  a  table  where  refreshments  are 
being  served.  At  the  right  are  other  figures  and  in  the  middle  distance  is  a 
field  of  ripe  grain  being  harvested.  Beyond  this  are  the  rolling  hills  and 
farm-lands;  above  is  a  bright  blue  sky  with  light  floating  clouds.

53  A  SIEGE. 

Beneath  a  tree  at  the  right  in  front  of  a  tent  from  which  a  banner  is 
floating,  are  some  horsemen,  four  of  whom  are  mounted,  while  three  others 
are  in  the  act  of  mounting.  One  soldier  is  sounding  his  trumpet,  another 
beats  the  kettle  drums,  a  third  standing  vigorously  sounds  his  horn,  while 
the  fourth  listlessly  holds  his  horn  in  his  lap.  A  white  horse  is  in  the  center 
of  the  group.  At  the  left  a  mother  sits  nursing  her  babe,  while  two  men  at 
a  cask  are  drinking  wine,  and  a  third  stands  near  by  smoking  a  long  clay  pipe. 
Tents  and  portions  of  an  army  lead  off  into  the' middle  ground,  and  from 


80 


out  the  distant  smoke  of  battle  rises  a  hill  with  vapory  indications  of  a  ram- 
part and  outlying  forts.

202  "MERCY'S  DREAM." 

"Christiana  said  to  Mercy: — What  was  the  matter  that  you  did  laugh 
in  your  sleep  to-night?    I  suppose  you  were  in  a  dream. 

"Mercy — I  was  a-dreamed  that  I  sat  all  alone  in  a  solitary  place,  and 
was  bemoaning  of  the  hardness  of  my  heart  ....  Met  bought  I  looked 
up,  and  saw  one  coming  with  wings  towards  me.  So  he  came  directly  to  me, 
and  said,  'Mercy,  what  aileth  thee?'  Now  when  he  had  heard  me  make 
my  complaint,  he  said, 'Peace  be  to  thee';  ....  and  he  put  a  beautiful 
crown  upon  my  head.  Then  he  took  me  by  the  hand,  and  said,  'Mercy, 
come  after  me.'  So  he  went  up,  and  I  followed,  till  we  came  to  a  golden 
Gate.  Then  he  knocked;  and  when  they  within  had  opened,  the  Man  went 
in,  and  I  followed  him  up  to  a  throne  upon  which  One  sat;  and  he  said  to  me, 
*  Welcome,  daughter.'  The  place  looked  bright  and  twinkling  like  stars,  or 
rather  Hke  the  sun.    .    .    ." — (Biinyan's  Pilgrim's  Progress.)

A  young  Holland  woman  typical  of  her  class  is  sitting  at  full  length  with 
the  face  and  figure  turned  slightly  to  the  right.  Her  blonde  hair  creeps  from 
beneath  the  frills  of  her  close-fitting  white  cap  down  to  her  broad  shoulders. 
Her  head  is  inclined  forward  as  she  presses  a  needle  through  the  linen  garment 
folded  over  the  forefinger  of  the  left  hand.  The  sturdy  weather-beaten  arms 
bare  to  the  elbows  and  the  warm  violet  gray  sleeves  melt  into  the  subdued 
tone  of  the  white  'kerchief  which  covers  her  bosom.  The  skirt  is  black  and 
her  bare  feet  are  thrust  into  a  pair  of  low  wooden  shoes.  On  a  table  at  the 
right  is  a  potted  plant,  and  at  the  left  are  a  large  wicker  basket,  a  workbox 
and  some  yarn.

JACQUE,  Charles  Emile.  French  Scfiool. 

Bom  at  Paris,  1813;  died,  1894.  Animal  and  landscape  painter,  en- 
graver, and  etcher.  When  seventeen  years  old,  he  studied  with  a  geographical 
engraver,  but  later  on  enlisted  as  a  soldier  and  remained  seven  years  in  the 
army.  He  then  resumed  his  engraving,  and  worked  two  years  in  England 
as  a  draughtsman  on  wood.  He  may  be  characterized  as  a  rustic  artist.  He 
paints  farmyard  scenes  with  vigor,  and  excels  in  accurate  knowledge  of  sheep

453  THE  SHEEPFOLD. 

The  bright  sunlight  breaks  through  a  crude  latticed  gate  illuminating 
a  straw-covered  floor.  All  around  the  shadowy  sides  of  the  fold  are  racks 
filled  with  grain  upon  which  the  sheep  are  feeding.  At  the  right  the  sheep 
crowd  around  a  boy  in  a  blue  blouse  who  is  putting  a  bundle  of  grain  into  a 
rack,  and  overhead  are  the  rough  wooden  beams  which  support  the  floor 
above.

JACQUET  (Jean),  Gustave.    French  School. 

Bom  at  Paris,  1846.  Genre  and  portrait  painter;  pupil  of  Bouguereau. 
Medals:  1868;  first  class,  1875;  third  class,  1878;  Legion  of  Honor,  1879. 
He  began  by  painting  military  subjects  of  the  sixteenth  century.  In  1867, 
his  "Call  To  Arms"  was  purchased  by  Princess  Mathilde,  and  in  1868,  his 
"Sortie  of  the  Army"  was  purchased  by  the  Museum  of  Blois.  During  the 
Franco-German  War,  1870,  he  served  as  "  f ranctirfiur "  in  the  Army  of  Paris. 
At  the  conclusion  of  that  war  he  adopted  a  different  style  in  Art,  painting 
such  subjects  as  the  "Young  Woman  with  the  Sword,"  "Reverie,"  "The 
First  Arrival."  The  "Minuet,"  1880,  was  purchased  by  the  Count  of  Fitz- 
kievich.  At  that  time  he  painted  portraits  of  the  Duchesses  d'Uz^s  and 
de  la  Tr^mouille,  and  of  many  others  of  the  nobility  and  society  of  France 
and  England.  Many  of  his  more  recent  and  better  pictures  are  in  New  York 
and  in  Pittsburgh.  He  is  especially  known  for  his  exquisite  little  heads  of 
women,  in  the  fashion  of  the  eighteenth  century.

JAN-MONCHABLON,  Ferdinand.   French  School. 

Chatillon-sur-Saone,  Vosges.  Bom  in  1855.  Pupil  of  Cabanel  and 
of  J.  P.  Laurens.  Chevalier,  Legion  of  Honor.  A  painter  of  landscape, 
mostly  of  the  Vosges  district,  where  he  was  born.  In  the  earlier  works  of 
Jan-Monchablon  there  is  a  subtle  delicacy  of  treatment  and  a  completeness  of 
finish,  in  which  realism  is  carried  to  its  extremest  point;  but  in  his  more 
recent  productions  he  retains  his  deep  feeling  for  nature,  and  aims  at  a  broader 
technique,  a  more  intense  coloring,  and  is  striving  to  attain  those  qualities 
which  give  to  the  pictures  of  the  old  Dutch  masters  their  peculiar  charm.

660  A  MARSH  IN  NORTH  HOLLAND. 

The  landscape  is  saturated  with  the  moisture  of  the  sea  from  the  wet 
boggy  foreground,  where  the  water  stands  in  pools  to  the  small  group  of  trees 
by  a  white  cottage,  near  where  the  cattle  graze  on  the  border  of  a  stream. 
The  flat  lands  beyond  are  dotted  with  windmills  which  break  the  horizon

JORDAENS,  Jacob.    Flemish  Sdwol. 

Bom  at  Antwerp,  1593;  died  there,  1678.  Pupil  of  Adam  Van  Noort, 
as  was  Rubens,  he  became  the  follower  and  half  assistant  of  the  latter.  He 
married  early  in  life  the  daughter  of  Van  Noort,  and  never  visited  Italy. 
He  was  a  master  of  great  power.  He  painted  a  variety  of  subjects. 
Many  of  his  sacred  pictures  are  in  the  churches  of  Flanders  and  Brabant, 
but  they  are  not  his  best  works.  His  pictures  vary  much,  according  as  he 
was  interested  or  not  in  his  subject.  His  color  was  fine,  his  impasto  some- 
what unequal,  but  he  excelled  in  depth  of  chiaroscuro,  and  a  "  certain 
golden  glow,"  in  which  he  sometimes  surpassed  even  Rubens.  The  "  Holy 
Family,"  in  this  Gallery,  is  one  of  his  best  sacred  pictures. 

47      THE  VISIT  OF  ST.  JOHN  TO  THE  INFANT  JESUS. 

In  the  center  of  the  picture,  with  one  foot  resting  upon  the  globe  and 
the  other  upon  the  head  of  a  serpent,  which  encircles  the  world,  stands  the 
Child  Christ,  supported  by  Mary,  who  extends  her  right  hand  to  the  infant 
St.  John,  who  is  seated  upon  the  back  of  a  lamb.  St.  Joseph,  with  one  hand 
resting  lightly  over  the  back  of  a  wicker  chair,  in  which  is  seated  St.  Anne, 
leans  gently  forward  in  rapt  attention.  St.  Elisabeth,  a  black  mantle  cover- 
ing her  head  and  draping  her  figure,  supports  the  infant  St.  John,  and  back  of 
this  group  stands  St.  Zacharias  and  the  guardian  angle  with  outspread  wings.

Two  men,  heroic  in  size,  three-quarters  length,  stand  behind  a  large

in  argument,  the  left  being  on  the  shoulder  of  his  companion  who  is  leaning 
forward  with  his  right  elbow  on  the  globe  and  his  hand  to  his  cheek.

181        PORTRAIT  OF  JOHN  GRIMES.  1812. 

All  that  is  known  of  the  subject  of  this  picture  is  that,  when  a  boy,  he

in  a  paint  store,  where  he  met  Jouett,  who  first  employed  him  to  grind  his 
colors,  and  subsequently  took  him  to  his  studio  and  taught  him  to  paint. 
About  1826,  he  went  to  Nashville,  and  opened  a  studio,  painting  many  of  the 
best  citizens  of  that  place,  but  went  back  to  Lexington  to  die,  in  1837.

450        CRUSADERS  BEFORE  JERUSALEM. 

The  intention  of  the  artist  was  to  express  symbolically  the  idea  that 
Christianity  has  become  the  triumphant  religion  of  the  universe.  In  tlie 
middle  and  extreme  distance  can  be  seen  the  city  of  Jerusalem  with  its  domes 
and  palaces,  the  cmsaders'  coveted  goal;  somewhat  removed,  some  soldiers, 
a  group  of  eminent  knights,  ecclesiastics,  bishops,  and  crusade  preachers 
contemplate  the  city  from  a  hill-top;  on  another  hill  to  the  right  can  be  seen 
the  army  of  crusaders  commanded  by  Godfrey  of  Bouillon,  who  holds  uplifted 
in  both  hands  a  crown,  symbol  of  the  divine  right  of  the  Kings  of  Jemsalem; 
near  him  are  Boemond  and  Tancredi,  soldiers  who  had  distinguished  them- 
selves in  the  memorable  battle  the  crusaders  fought  with  the  Saracens.  The 
ground  is  covered  with  the  enemy's  dead.  On  the  foreground  in  the  middle 
is  Peter  of  Amiens  on  his  knees,  with  eyes  turned  towards  the  Holy  City, 
and  offering  to  God  prayers  of  thanksgiving.  Behind  him  a  group  of  penitents 
are  lying  on  the  ground  or  scourging  themselves;  above,  borne  on  clouds, 
is  seen  the  divine  apparition  of  the  Redeemer  acconapanied  by  the  Holy 
Virgin,  and  surrounded  by  the  Saints  and  Martyrs.  Godfrey  of  Bouillon, 
bearing  on  his  head  a  crown  of  thorns,  offers  the  crown  of  the  Holy  Land  to 
the  Saviour,  the  real  King  of  Jerusalem.  Near  Peter  of  Amiens  is  a  group 
of  fervent  psalmists  of  the  Christian  faith,  followed  by  the  knights  in  magni- 
ficent armor.  The  troubadour  of  the  middle  ages,  so  closely  associated 
with  romances  of  the  cmsaders,  here  also  finds  nis  place.  The  beautiful 
Armida,  bome  seated  on  a  litter  draped  with  laurel  branches,  is  carried  by 
Moors,  while  her  knight,  Rinaldo,  leads  the  way  to  the  city,  as,  pious  and 
beautiful,  she  lifts  her  gaze  to  the  heavenly  apparition.

LAWRENCE,  Sir  Thomas,  P.R.A.  English  School. 

Born  at  Bristol,  1769.  Died  at  London,  1830.  He  early  distinguished 
himself  for  his  ability  in  drawing.  His  father  was  landlord  of  the  Black  Bear 
Inn,  Devizes,  and  the  first  efforts  of  the  young  painter  which  attracted  notice 
were  some  portraits  in  chalk  of  his  father's  customers.  At  the  early  age  of 
ten  years  he  set  up  as  a  portrait  painter  in  crayons,  at  Oxford;  but  he  soon 
afterwards  ventured  to  take  a  house  at  Bath,  where  he  immediately  met 
with  much  employment  and  extraordinary  success.  In  his  seventeenth  year 
he  commenced  oil  painting;  in  1787,  twelve  months  afterwards,  he  settled 
in  London,  and  entered  himself  as  a  student  in  the  Royal  Academy.  His 
success  in  London  was  as  great  as  it  had  been  in  the  Provinces.  In  1791, 
though  under  the  age  required  by  the  laws  (twenty-four),  he  was  elected  an 
associate  of  the  Academy,  and  after  the  death  of  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds,  in  the 
following  year,  he  succeeded  him  as  painter  to  the  King.  He  painted  at 
this  time,  in  his  twenty-third  year,  the  portraits  of  the  King  and  Queen, 
which  were  presented  by  Lord  Macartney  to  the  Emperor  of  China.  In  1794, 
he  was  elected  a  Royal  Academician ;  he  was  knighted  by  the  Prince  Regent 
in  1815;  and  at  the  death  of  Benjamin  West,  in  1820,  he  was  unanimously 
elected  president  of  the  Academy.  From  the  time  of  his  election  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Academy,  to  his  death,  Sir  Thomas's  career  as  a  portrait  painter 
was  unrivaled;  he  contributed,  from  1787  to  1830,  inclusive,  311  pictures 
to  the  exhibitions  of  the  Royal  Academy.  He  died  in  London,  at  his  house 
in  Russell  Square,  January  7,  1830.  He  was  never  married.  Shortly  after 
his  death,  a  selection  of  ninety-one  of  his  works  was  exhibited  at  the  British 
Institution.  He  was  a  member  of  St.  Luke  at  Rome,  and  of  many  other 
foreign  academies;  and  in  1825  he  was  created  a  Chevalier  of  the  Legion 
of  Honor.

Newtown,  a  little  village  on  a  small  branch  of  the  Neshaming,  two  miles  north- 
east from  Bristol.  There  were  about  1,500  Hessians  and  a  troop  of  British 
light  horse  at  Trenton;  these  Washington  determined  to  surprise.  The  posts 
at  Mount  Holly,  Buriington,  Black  Horse,  and  Bordentown  were  to  be  at- 
tacked, at  the  same  time,  by  the  Pennsylvania  militia  under  Generals  Cad- 
wallader  and  Ewing,  the  former  to  cross  near  Bristol,  the  latter  below  Trenton 
Falls;  while  Washington  leading  the  main  body  of  the  Continental  troops 
(in  all  about  2,400  men,  and  twenty  pieces  of  artillery)  was  to  march  down 
upon  the  enemy  at  Trenton.  Christmas  night  was  selected  by  Washington 
for  the  execution  of  his  enterprise.    The  cold  weather  of  the  twenty-four 


104 


hours  preceding  put  serious  obstacles  in  tlie  way.  Tlie  river  was  so  full  of 
floating  ice  that  at  first  it  was  doubtful  whether  a  crossing  could  be  efifected 
at  all.  A  storm  of  sleet  and  snow  had  just  commenced,  and  the  night 
became  excessively  dark  and  dreary.  The  perilous  voyage  began  early  in 
the  evening  in  boats  and  bateaux,  but  it  was  nearly  four  in  the  morning 
before  the  little  army  was  mustered  on  the  Jersey  shore.  The  victory  of  the 
Americans  at  Trenton  was  complete."

LEYDEN,  Lucas  van.     (Real  name  Lucas  Huygensz  or 
Lucas  Jacobsz.)     Dutch  School. 

Born  at  Leyden  in  1494;  died  there,  1533.  Pupil  of  his  father  Hugo 
Jacob,  and  of  Comelis  Enghelbrechtsen.  He  was  remarkably  precocious, 
having  etched  plates  from  his  own  designs  at  the  age  of  8  or  9  years;  at 
12  to  14  he  produced  works  that  are  still  highly  esteemed.  A  warm  friend- 
ship existed  between  him  and  Albert  Dilrer,  which  was  never  interrupted 
by  professional  jealousy.  He  painted  in  oil,  distemper,  and  on  glass,  suc- 
ceeding equally  well  in  historical  subjects,  landscape,  and  portraits.  His  en- 
gravings on  copper  gave  him  a  rank  besides  his  great  contemporaries,  Dilrer 
and  Marcantonio. 

250      CHRIST  PRESENTED  TO  THE  PEOPLE. 

In  a  public  square  of  the  city  of  Jerusalem  is  a  raised  scaffold  or  platform, 
on  which  the  Saviour  is  seen  in  a  group  of  six  persons,  two  of  whom  draw  aside 
the  purple  robe  and  show  Him  to  the  people.  In  the  foreground,  groups  of 
persons  in  richly  colored  costumes  fill  the  street  below,  witnessing  and  com- 
menting on  the  scene.  The  windows  of  the  houses  which  surround  the  square 
are  filled  with  spectators.  It  was  formerly  in  the  possession  of  Baron  Caron- 
delet,  Spanish  Governor  of  the  province  of  Louisiana,  and  was  purchased  from 
a  descendant  of  the  family.  It  would  seem  from  an  ancient  document  accom- 
panying the  picture  that  it  was  from  the  sale  of  the  Prince  de  Conti,  and  that  it 
is  the  original  of  the  picture  in  the  Belvedere  Gallery,  Vienna,  which  in  the  old 
catalogues  was  attributed  to  this  artist,  and  in  the  more  recent  catalogues  is 
called  a  Copy.  There  is  an  old  engraving  of  this  picture  by  Lucas  van  Leyden 
himself,  dated  1510.

257  JOSEPH'S  COAT. 

This  is  one  of  a  series  of  tempera  paintings  on  linen,  illustrating  the  history 
of  Joseph,  which  was  seen  by  Van  Mander  in  a  house  at  Delft,  as  is  specially 
recorded  by  him  in  his  life  of  the  Dutch  Master  ('Het  Leven  der  'Schilders, 
etc.).    He  there  notes  the  injury  to  the  set  of  decorative  canvases  as  being 

105 


caused  by  the  damp  atmosphere  of  Holland.  This  picture  is  of  peculiar 
interest,  as  being  one  of  the  very  few  among  his  paintings  tliat  are  authenti- 
cated by  documentary  evidence. 

Jacob,  the  Ruler,  and  father  of  Joseph,  with  a  sceptre  in  his  right  hand  is 
eeated  in  an  open  court  beneath  a  red  canopy.  Surrounded  by  soldiers,  coun- 
cilors, and  friends,  he  is  receiving  the  news  of  Joseph's  death.  Standing  before 
him  is  one  of  the  brothers  the  blood-stained  coat  of  many  colors,  "And  he 
knew  it,  and  said.  It  is  my  son's  coat;  an  evil  beast  hath  devoured  him;  Joseph 
is  without  doubt  rent  in  pieces."  The  impressive  and  ornate  character  of  the 
surrounding  architecture  conveys  the  feeling  of  royal  association  rather  than 
that  of  classic  accuracy. 

This  picture  belonged  in  1766  to  Lord  Methuen,  and  in  1886  passed  from 
Lord  Methuen's  collection  to  Corsham,  into  that  of  Mr.  Marquand,  of  New 
York.  Mentioned  in  Th^  English  Connoisseur,  London,  1766,  II,  36,  and 
formerly  catalogued  under  the  title  of  "Our  Saviour  carried  before  Pontius 
Pilate."

Bom  at  Greenlaw,  Scotland,  1802;  died.  New  York,  1888.  Student  of 
the  Royal  Scottish  Academy  in  Edinburgh.  Afterwards  he  spent  some  years 
in  the  successful  practice  of  his  profession  in  England,  coming  to  America  in 
1843,  settling  in  New  York.  He  excelled  in  painting  cabinet  portraits  in  oil, 
and  his  ability  was  soon  recognized.  Added  to  his  facilty  in  securing  a  like- 
ness, he  finished  his  pictures  with  extreme  delicacy,  without  in  the  least  rob- 
bing them  of  their  force  and  character.  He  painted  Henry  Clay  and  Daniel 
Webster.  In  1839  the  National  Academy  of  Design  awarded  him  the  medal 
offered  for  the  best  specimen  of  portrait  painting  exhibited.

Major  William  Popham  was  bom  in  Ireland,  1752,  and  came  to  America 
in  1761.  He  entered  the  U.  S.  Army  when  the  revolution  broke  out,  accepted 
a  commission  and  rendered  distinguished  services  at  the  battles  of  Long  Island 
and  White  Plains,  and  afterward  acted  as  aid  to  General  Clinton,  remaining  in 
the  army  until  the  close  of  the  war.  At  the  age  of  ninety-two  he  was  elected 
President  of  the  Cincinnati  Society  in  place  of  the  late  General  Morgan  Lewis. 
At  that  time  he  was  the  only  living  officer  of  Washington's  army  which  had 
been  disbanded  and  dismissed  without  pay,  or  emolument  of  any  kind,  the 
army  then  lying  in  detachments  in  the  vicinity  of  Fishkill,  Newburgh,  New 
Windsor  and  West  Point,  with  headquarters  at  New  Windsor.

62   SOBIESKI  DEFEATING  THE  TURKS  BEFORE  VIENNA. 

Sobieski,  John  III,  King  of  Poland,  on  September  21,  1683,  brought 
twenty  thousand  Poles  to  the  relief  of  Vienna  and  gained  a  celebrated  victory 
over  the  Turks.  In  the  immediate  foreground  of  the  picture  there  is  a  furious 
cavalry  charge  where  the  men  and  horses  of  the  Turkish  forces  are  being  over- 
thrown and  driven  from  the  field  by  the  Polish  troops,  who  following  up  their 
success  have  already  gained  the  rear  of  the  Turkish  infantry  near  the  crest  of  a 
small  hill  where  they  are  engaged.  Upon  another  hill  beyond,  the  old  round 
fort  floats  its  banner  high  up  amid  the  smoke  of  battle  drifting  to  the  cumulous 
clouds  above.  The  arched  bridge  leading  to  the  city  is  crowded  with  the  con- 
tending soldiers,  and  reserves  are  seen  coming  up  the  hill  at  the  left  in  support 
of  the  successful  Polish  troops.

LUCY,  Charles.    English  School 

Bom  at  Hereford,  1814;  died  at  London,  1873.  History  painter. 
He  studied  at  the  Beaux-Arts  and  also  under  Paul  Delaroche;  afterwards  he 
became  a  pupil  of  the  Royal  Academy,  London.  His  works  are  important  on 
account  of  their  subject  and  the  scale  on  which  they  are  painted,  rather  than 
for  their  originality.    Many  of  his  pictures  have  been  engraved.

coloring.  In  the  latter  years  of  his  life  he  seems  to  have  become  chiefly  a  por- 
trait painter.  The  Amsterdam  Gallery  has  twelve,  the  National  Gallery 
five,  and  the  Berlin  Gallery,  the  Uffizi,  and  the  Van  der  Hoop  Collection  have 
each  one  of  his  pictures,  but  most  of  them  are  in  private  collections.  Smith 
mentions  only  forty-five  of  his  works  in  all.

heavy  brogans  his  feet,  from  which  blue  stockings  rise  to  his  short  gray 
breeches  which  button  at  the  knee.  A  group  of  trees  are  in  the  middle  dis- 
tance where  sheep  are  grazing  and  a  flock  of  geese  are  waddling  about  on  the 
side  of  the  hill.  On  the  distant  fields  at  the  left  is  a  white  thatched  cabin. 
The  sky  is  light,  luminous,  and  cloudy.

545  L' ATTENTAT  D'ANAGNI. 

Boniface  VIII,  a  native  of  Anagni,  was  elected  Pope  in  1294.  Philip  the 
Fair,  of  France,  resisted  his  authority  in  spiritual  matters,  and,  aided  by 
Italian  enemies  of  the  Pope,  compelled  him  to  take  refuge  in  his  native  town. 
Hither  he  was  pursued  by  Sciarra  Colonna,  at  that  time  head  of  the  most  cele- 
brated and  powerful  of  the  Roman  aristocratic  families.  The  picture  repre- 
sents the  moment  when  Boniface  says  to  his  assailants,  Here  is  my  neck ;  here 
is  my  head;  strike!  but  I  will  die  Pope."  Boniface  was  thrown  into  prison, 
and  though  liberated  by  the  people  of  Anagni,  died  within  a  month.

663  DIANA'S  HUNTING  PARTY. 

Diana  with  her  hunting  party  has  just  emerged  from  a  dense  primeval 
forest  bordering  a  lake.  She  stands  in  flowing  crimson  drapery  with  a  dart 
poised  in  her  right  hand  ready  to  hurl  at  a  fleeing  stag  who  has  plunged  into 
the  water.  By  her  side  is  a  nymph  in  the  act  of  drawing  a  bow,  and  at  her 
right  crowding  the  bank  are  five  others  in  hot  pursuit  of  the  game,  one  of 
whom  is  holding  by  a  leash  two  straining  hounds.  In  the  immediate  fore- 
ground are  a  group  of  bathers  who  have  been  surprised  and  startled  by  the 
incident;  one  has  caught  the  stag  by  its  horns,  another  with  uplifted  hands 
pleads  for  its  life,  and  a  swan  at  the  left  with  outspread  wings  and  violent 
action  resents  the  intrusion  of  the  hounds.

called  Giovanni  da  San  Giovanni.  Pupil  of  Matteo  Rosselli,  whose  finished

MAR  ATT  A,  Carlo.    Roman  School. 

Born  at  Camerano,  1625;  died  at  Rome,  1713.  (Called  also  Carluccio 
dalle  Madonne,  from  the  large  number  of  Madonna  pictures  that  he  painted.) 
Was  an  imitator  of  Raphael,  and  for  nearly  half  a  century  the  most  eminent 
painter  in  Rome.  The  portrait  of  a  Pope  or  Cardinal  should  have  come  kindly 
to  him,  for  he  was  in  the  service  of  several  Popes,  and  was  appointed  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Vatican  Chambers  by  Innocent  XI.  Clement  XI  entrusted  to 
him  the  complete  restoration  of  the  frescos  of  Raphael,  and  gave  him  the 
insignia  of  the  "  Order  of  Christ"  for  his  labor  upon  them.  He  was  President 
of  the  Academy  of  St.  Luke  at  the  time  of  his  death.

Bom  at  Sevres,  1827;  died  suddenly  at  Hyeres,  1890.  The  most  dis- 
tinguished pupil  of  Troyon,  whose  attention  he  attracted  while  employed  in 
the  porcelain  works  as  a  decorator,  and  through  whose  influence  he  began  the 
study  of  nature,  and  subsequently  abandoned  the  pottery  at  Sevres  for  a 
studio  in  Paris.  The  influence  of  Troyon  is  evident  in  all  of  Van  Marcke's 
earlier  works.  But  he  was  a  consummate  draughtsman,  and  soon  developed 
a  style  of  his  own,  displaying  marked  ability  and  freedom  in  composition, 
individuality  of  touch,  and  a  quality  of  color  differing  from  that  of  his  mas- 
ter. His  works  sparkle  with  sunlight,  and  beneath  the  showery  skies  there  is 
a  freshness  of  verdure  replete  with  the  charm  of  midsummer  days.  Medals :

638  "FRIEDLAND,  1807." 

Extract  from  the  Artist's  Letter  to  Mr.  A.  T.  Stewart. 

"  I  did  not  intend  to  paint  a  battle — I  wanted  to  paint  Napoleon  at  the 
zenith  of  his  glory;  I  wanted  to  paint  the  love,  the  adoration  of  the  soldiers 
for  the  great  Captain  in  whom  they  had  faith,  and  for  whom  they  were  ready 
to  die. 

"  I  previously  had  represented,  in  the  picture '  1814,'  the  heartrending  end 
of  the  Imperial  Dream — those  men  only  recently  intoxicated  with  glory,  now 
shown  exhausted,  and  no  longer  believing  in  their  invincible  chief.  My 
palette  then  did  not  have  colors  sad  enough  for  the  purpose;  but  to-day,  in 
'Friedland,  1807,'  wishing  everything  to  appear  brilliant  at  this  triumphant 
moment,  it  seemed  to  me  I  was  vmable  to  find  colors  sufficiently  dazzling.  No 
shade  should  be  upon  the  Imperial  face,  to  take  from  him  the  epic  character  I 
wished  to  give  him.  The  battle,  already  commenced,  was  necessary  to  add  to 
the  enthusiasm  of  the  soldiers,  and  make  the  subject  stand  forth,  but  not  to 
diminish  it  by  saddening  details.  All  such  shadows  I  avoided,  and  presented 
nothing  but  a  dismounted  cannon,  and  some  growing  wheat  which  would 
never  ripen. 

"  This  was  enough. 

"  The  men  and  the  Emperor  are  in  the  presence  of  each  other.  The  soldiers 
cry  to  him  that  they  are  his,  and  the  impressive  Chief,  whose  Imperial  will 
directs  the  masses  that  move  around,  salutes  his  devoted  army.  He  and  they 
plainly  comprehend  each  other,  and  absolute  confidence  is  expressed  in  every 
face. 

"  Such  was  the  idea  as  it  leaped  from  my  brain  the  first  instant  when  I  em- 
bodied the  picture  in  thought;  and  which,  in  spite  of  the  long  time  I  have 
taken  to  put  it  on  canvas,  has  always  remained  with  me  so  clear  and  plain  that 
I  have  never  in  any  manner  modified  it." 

"Friedland,  1807"  was  sold  at  auction  at  the  sale  of  the  Stewart  Collec- 
tion, March  25,  1887,  and  purchased  by  Judge  Henry  Hilton  for  $66,000,  and 
by  him  given  to  the  Museum  in  1887. 

Napoleon  mounted  on  his  famous  white  horse  and  surrounded  by  his 
generals  and  aides  is  upon  a  slight  eminence  in  the  center  of  the  picture.  In 
wild  enthusiasm  the  Cuirassiers  are  charging  before  him  through  a  field  of 
unripe  wheat,  every  soldier  rising  in  his  stirrups  and  shouting  ''Vive  I'Em- 
pereur"  as  he  raises  his  sword  flashing  in  the  light  of  a  midday  sun.  The  bat- 
tle rages  in  the  distance  and  above  is  a  clear  blue  sky  with  light  floating  clouds.

bent  forward  looking  intently  at  the  picture,  his  right  foot  is  on  a  bar  of  the 
easel;  his  right  arm  is  resting  across  his  knee;  and  in  his  left  hand  he  holds  a 
large  straw  hat.  The  other  stands  with  his  figure  thrown  back  and  the  head 
to  one  side.  His  right  hand  is  raised  to  his  breast  and  in  his  left  he  holds  his

METSU,  Gabriel.     Dutch  School. 

Born  at  Leyden,  towards  1630 ;  died  at  Amsterdam,  1667.  The  gentleman- 
ly portrait  of  this  artist,  now  in  the  Queen  of  England's  collection,  represents 
him  to  have  been  a  man  of  a  naturally  delicate  frame  and  of  a  sensitive  mind;  he 
imquestionably  formed  his  style  from  the  study  of  works  by  such  distinguished 
men  as  Gerard  Dou,  Frans  Van  Mieris,  Terburg,  and  Jan  Steen,  who  were  all 
superior  to  him  in  invention  and  the  dehneation  of  character;  but  Metsu 
obtained  a  grace  of  expression  and  an  elegance  in  demeanor  which  left  him 
without  a  rival  in  the  old  Dutch  School.

Seated  near  the  center  of  a  room  is  a  lady  in  a  golden  brown  dress,  with 
her  face  upturned  to  a  man  who  is  standing  behind  her  to  whom  she  is  showing 
a  sheet  of  music  which  she  holds  in  her  right  hand,  her  left  hand  rests  upon  a 
guitar  which  lies  upon  a  red  tapestry-covered  table  by  her  side.  At  the  lady's 
left  is  a  man  playing  a  violoncello,  and  behind  this  group  is  an  open  case- 
mented  window,  and  a  door  through  which  a  servant  approaches  with  refresh- 
ments. In  the  foreground  at  the  left  is  an  open  case,  and  sheets  of  music  are 
on  the  floor,  and  at  the  right  is  the  cloak  and  trappings  of  a  cavalier.

was  a  blacksmith,  and,  it  is  said,  became  a  painter  for  the  sake  of  an  artist's 
daughter,  whom  he  loved,  and  whose  father  was  determined  she  should 
marry  none  but  a  painter.  Metsys,  the  first  of  the  great  Antwerp  painters, 
was  the  last  who  remained  faithful  to  the  traditions  of  the  early  Flemish 
School.  His  most  important  work  was  an  altar-piece  in  three  parts,  now  in 
the  Museum  of  Antwerp.  "The  Misers,"  at  Windsor  Castle,  is  a  notable  work 
by  this  Master.  His  pictures  are  seen  in  all  large  European  Galleries.  He 
is  buried  in  front  of  the  Cathedral  in  Antwerp,  and  the  immediate  spot  is 
marked  with  the  simple  inscription,  "M.  Q.  M.,  obiit  1529."

profane  history  in  large  and  small  pictures,  but  his  portraits  were  his  best 
works.  He  imitated  Gerard  Dou  in  his  small  pictures,  and  etched  a  few  por- 
traits from  his  own  designs,  among  which  were  those  of  Dou  and  Mieris.

MORLAND,  George.  English  School. 

Bom  at  London,  1763;  died  there,  1804.  Was  the  son  of  Henry  Robert 
Morland,  a  portrait  painter  in  crayons,  and  an  engraver  in  mezzotint.  He 
married  the  sister  of  James  Ward,  R.A.,  who  was  afterwards  united  to  Maria 
Morland,  the  painter's  sister.  Morland  exhibited  altogether,  at  the  Royal 
Academy,  between  1779  and  1804,  thirty-six  pictures.  The  first  is  called  in 
the  catalogue  "A  Drawing  with  a  Poker."  The  last,  in  1804,  is  termed,  "A 
Landscape  with  Hounds  in  full  Chase."  "The  Inside  of  a  Stable,"  exhibited 
at  the  Royal  Academy  in  1791,  was  purchased  from  the  exhibition  by  the  Rev. 
Sir  Henry  Bate  Dudley,  Bart.,  and  was  presented  to  the  National  Gallery  by

MORONI,  Giovanni  Battista.   Venetian  School  Berenson  attributes 
this  picture  to  Savoldo. 

Born  at  Bondio,  near  Albino,  Province  of  Bergamo,  about  1520;  died  at 
Bergamo,  1578.  Pupil  of  Alessandro  Bonvicino  called  II  Moretto.  Giovanni 
Battista  Moroni  was  a  painter  without  honor  in  his  own  country,  and  when 
the  people  from  Bergamo  came  to  Titian  to  be  painted,  he  used  to  refer  them 
to  their  own  countryman.  No  better  face  painter,  he  would  teU  them,  ex- 
isted. Moroni  was  not  a  poet  in  the  true  sense  of  the  word,  but  a  consum- 
mate painter.  Yet,  now  and  then,  he  surpassed  himself  and  pierced  the 
surface  till  he  reached  the  soul  of  the  sitter. 

230  PORTRAIT  OF  A  MAN. 

Standing,  half-length,  nearly  front  view,  he  is  gloved,  and  clad  in  a  fur-

MOSTERT  (or  Mostaert),  Jan.    Dutch  ScJwol. 

Bom  at  Haarlem,  1474;  died  there,  1555.  Pupil  of  Jacob  Janszen  van 
Haarlem.  He  was  for  eighteen  years  painter  to  Margaret  of  Austria,  Regent  of 
the  Netherlands,  and  during  that  period  resided  at  the  Court,  to  which  he 
was  attached  also  as  a  Gentleman.  Mostert  paid  much  attention  to  landscape 
and  was  also  a  good  portrait  painter;  his  ecclesiastical  works  have  mostly  per- 
ished, but  a  very  delicate  picture  ascribed  to  him  of  the  Virgin,  with  smaller 
representations  of  her  seven  sorrows,  is  still  preserved  in  the  church  of  Notre- 
Dame  at  Bruges,  but  no  known  picture  bears  the  signature  of  Mostert.  The 
Antwerp  Museum  has  three,  the  Vienna  &  Brussels  Galleries  have  one  each, 
and  the  Old  Pinakothek,  Munich,  has  three  pictures  by  this  artist.  The 
National  Gallery  in  London  has  a  "Virgin  and  Child  in  a  Garden"  conjectur- 
ally  assigned  to  him, as  is  the"  Ecce  Homo — Mater  Dolorosa "  in  this  Museum. 

85  A         ECCE  HOMO— MA  TER  DOLOROSA . 

Life-size,  three-quarter  length.  Both  figures  are  standing  in  a  highly 
ornate  Gothic  window  with  a  double  arch.  The  Saviour  is  at  the  left,  with 
the  crown  of  thorns  pressed  upon  His  brow;  from  which  the  blood  trickles 
down  over  His  pale  face,  which  is  profoundly  eloquent  in  its  expression  of 
resignation.  His  hands  are  bound  with  a  cord,  and  in  the  right  He  holds 
the  reed.  A  dark  green  mantle,  tied  in  a  knot  at  the  breast,  covers  the 
shoulders  and  falls  at  each  side  of  the  figure.  The  sorrowing  Mother  is  at 
the  right  with  bowed  head,  and  hands  across  her  breast;  the  delicate  pale 
face,  with  its  exquisite  expression  of  the  most  profound  grief,  is  framed  in  a 
white  head-dress  severe  in  its  lines  but  chaste  and  pure  in  color.  A  dark 
green  mantle  falls  from  the  head  and  envelopes  Her  figure.  In  the  back- 
ground are  highly  ornate  buildings  which,  with  a  distant  hill  and  Muo  moun- 
tains, are  seen  beneath  the  arch  of  the  window.  A  scourge  is  attached  to  the 
marble  column  which  separates  the  figures.

114  RAFFLING  FOR  THE  GOOSE. 

A  group  of  six  Long  Island  farmers  are  standing  around  a  table  in  an  old 
kitchen  in  happy  anticipation  of  winning  the  coveted  plucked  goose  which  lies 
on  the  table  before  them.  One  man  in  his  shirt  sleeves  is  shaking  up  the 
numbers  in  an  old  battered  black  silk  hat,  and  another  leans  over  the  table 
with  one  hand  on  the  goose.  In  the  background  at  the  left,  a  boy  with  a  pipe

Marie  Antoinette  (Salon  de  Musique)  at  Trianon,  Versailles;  later  the  prop- 
erty of  the  Comte  de  Montdesir  in  his  Chateau  near  Cherbourg.  It  is  unlikely

desir family. 

Life-size,  three-quarters  length,  sitting.  The  figure  is  turned  to  the  left 
and  the  face,  with  its  large  dark  eyes,  to  the  right  of  the  spectator.  In  her 
left  hand  she  holds  a  bow  with  one  end  resting  by  her  side  on  a  piece  of  dull 
red  drapery  which  infolds  her  figure.  Over  a  pearly-white  decollete  dress  is  a 
leopard  skin  knotted  at  the  right  shoulder.  The  figure  is  relieved  against  a 
clear  sky.

NEER,  Aert  van  der.    Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Amsterdam,  1603;  died  there,  1677.  An  eminent  landscape 
painter,  whose  representations  of  the  setting  sun  are  marked  by  a  poetic  feel- 
ing, and  who  especially  excelled  in  rendering  "The  Penetrating  Melancholy 
of  Moonlight."  The  National  Gallery  has  a  fine  example  of  this  master,  with 
animals  and  figures  by  Cuyp. 

8  SUNSET. 

The  low  setting  sun  bathes  the  scene  in  a  tender  luminous  light.  In  the 
center  of  the  picture  a  lake  which  extends  to  the  horizon  is  dotted  with  water 
fowl,  and  long  reaches  of  meadow-grass ;  there  is  a  distant  group  of  trees,  and 
a  churchspire  rises  into  the  sky,  and  the  sunny  hillside  at  the  left  is  marked  at 
the  water's  edge  by  slender  trunks  of  trees  which  shadow  a  single  boatman 
and  his  tiny  craft.  The  tree  in  the  foreground  at  the  left,  majestic  in  its  pro- 
portions, has  abundant  leafy  foliage  which  reaches  out  to  catch  the  fading

light.  Two  huntsmen,  one  sitting,  the  other  standing  with  his  gun  at  rest, 
are  in  the  immediate  foreground  of  the  picture.

from  Liege  at  Bordeaux,  married  and  settled  there,  but  soon  returned  to  Hol- 
land and  rapidly  acquired  fame  as  a  portrait  painter. 

81  PORTRAIT  OF  A  DUTCH  LADY.

seated  on  a  table  which  is  covered  with  a  dark  reddish  cloth  or  rug,  upon  which 
the  lady  rests  her  left  arm.  The  dress  is  of  white  satin  and  a  dark  mantle 
which  passes  over  the  right  shoulder  comes  to  the  front  and  is  held  lightly  with

598    THUSNELDA  AT  THE  TRIUMPHAL  ENTRY  OF  GER- 
MANICUS  INTO  ROME. 

Painted  to  order  for  the  late  A.  T.  Stewart,  Esq.  At  the  request  of 
Emperor  William,  was  exhibited  in  Berlin  before  being  sent  to  this  country. 
The  large  painting  now  in  the  Munich  Gallery  was  painted  subsequently  to  the 
above. 

The  following  description  is  by  the  artist  himself: 

The  Emperor  Tiberius,  surrounded  by  his  Courtiers  (Favorites,  Coun- 
cilors. Lictors,  Senators,  and  Roman  Women),  has  taken  his  place  upon  a 

136 


tribune  under  a  spread  canopy,  in  order  that  the  triumphal  procession  of 
Germanicus  may  pass  before  him. 

Germanicus  appears  in  the  background  upon  a  triumphal  car,  accom- 
panied by  his  five  sons,  surrounded  by  Trophies  of  Victory,  and  is  greeted  by 
the  applause  and  acclamations  of  the  people,  who  are  to  be  seen  at  the  Arch  of 
Triumph. 

In  front  of  the  car,  reaching  from  the  middle  distance  to  the  foreground 
of  the  picture,  are  the  German  captives  being  led  in  chains.  As  principal 
figure  in  this  group  and  of  the  picture,  walks  Thusnelda,  in  the  costume  of  the 
Germans,  with  her  son,  Tumelicus  (a  child  of  three  years),  accompanied  by  a 
nurse  and  an  attendant.  Before  her  is  the  priest,  Libes,  coupled  (chained) 
together  with  warriors,  escorted  by  Roman  soldiers.  Behind  Thusnelda  are  to 
be  seen  her  brothers,  leaders  of  the  Cherusci,  chained  together,  with  bears, 
etc.,  etc.  The  foreground  to  the  left  is  occupied  by  the  populace  of  Rome,  who 
mock  and  insult  Thusnelda. 

Thusnelda  having  been  forcibly  carried  away  from  her  husband,  Armin- 
ius,  a  German  Prince,  by  her  father  Segestes,  was,  from  reasons  which  appeared 
to  him  advantageous  for  his  own  personal  interests  and  the  condition  of  the 
Germans,  betrayed  and  delivered  into  the  hands  of  the  Romans. 

In  the  picture,  Tiberius  has  selected  Segestes  to  stand  before  the  steps  of 
his  throne,  and  has  forced  him  to  witness  the  shame  of  his  own  daughter;  he  is 
mocked  by  the  Senators  sitting  near  him,  as  they  point  to  the  prisoners  below. 

Strabo  describes,  as  an  eye-witness,  this  event;  he,  as  well  as  Tacitus, 
although  Romans,  express  plainly  their  sympathy  for  the  devotion  and  love  of 
country  exhibited  by  Thusnelda,  whose  personality  will  ever  be  a  poetical 
subject  for  an  artist.

PINE,  Robert  Edge.    English  School 

Born  at  London,  1742;  died  at  Philadelphia,  1790.  He  was  the  son 
of  Mr.  John  Pine,  the  engraver,  and  was  established  in  London  as  early  as 
1761-62.  For  his  picture  "The  Surrender  of  Calais,"  1760,  he  received  the 
first  prize  of  one  hundred  guineas  from  the  Society  for  the  Encouragement  of 
Art.  In  1762  he  obtained  the  first  prize  for  "Canute  on  the  Sea  Shore,  Re- 
proving his  Courtiers  for  Flattery."  In  1772  he  went  to  Bath,  remaining  until 
1779,  when  he  returned  to  London.  In  1784  he  came  to  America,  settling  in 
Philadelphia  with  the  avowed  object  of  painting  the  distinguished  persons  and 
events  of  our  Revolution,  but  met  with  so  little  encouragement  that  he 
devoted  his  time  to  portrait  painting.  His  first  portrait  was  that  of  the  Hon. 
Francis  Hopkinson,  and  bears  the  date  of  1785.  Washington,  in  a  note  dated 
Mount  Vernon,  16th  of  May,  1785,  to  the  Hon.  Francis  Hopkinson,  consents  to 
give  sittings  to  Pine  for  a  portrait,  to  be  introduced  with  other  people  of  dis- 
tinction in  a  large  historical  picture,  contemplated  by  tlie  artist.  But  his  ideal 
was  never  realized,  as  he  died,  without  having  made  much  progress  with 
his  collection  of  material  for  his  grand  historical  picture.  He  was  small  of 
stature,  and  morbidly  irritable.  After  his  death  his  wife  and  children  opened 
a  school,  but  soon  returned  to  England.

PIOMBO,  Fra  Sebastiano  del.    (Real  name  Sebastiano  Lu- 
ciani.)    Venetian  School. 

Bom  at  Venice,  1485;  died  at  Rome,  1547.  Sebastiano  Luciani,  called 
del  Piombo,  from  his  holding  the  office  of  Keeper  of  the  Leaden  Seal,  was 
originally  a  painter  and  musician  at  Venice,  where  he  studied  successively  under 
Bellini  and  Giorgione.  His  portraits  in  oil  had  won  him  fame  before  he  was 
invited  to  Rome  by  the  famous  banker,  Agostino  Chigi,  in  1512.  At  this 
time  the  papal  court  was  divided  into  two  strong  parties,  one  led  by  Raphael, 
the  other  by  Michelangelo,  and  the  latter,  feehng  his  own  defects  as  a  colorist, 
courted  Sebastiano,  in  hope  that,  by  uniting  Venetian  color  with  his  own  grand 
design,  Raphael  could  be  outdone.  When  Cardinal  Giulio  de  Medici  com- 
missioned Raphael  to  paint  the  "Transfiguration,"  he  also  commissioned 
del  Piombo  to  paint  "Raising  of  Lazarus,"  now  in  the  National  Gallery,  Lon- 
don.   The  pictures,  when  finished,  were  exhibited  side  by  side.

right  is  extended  in  front  of  the  figure.  He  wears  a  black  gown  cut  low  at  the 
neck,  with  a  broad  collar  thrown  back  on  his  shoulders,  and  a  cornered  hat 
which  does  not  conceal  the  luxuriant  reddish  brown  hair.  His  complexion  is 
olive,  and  a  white  fine  fluted  collar  is  about  his  neck.  The  following  inscrip- 
tion is  on  the  canvas:  Haec  Est .  Effigies  .  Liguris  .  Miranda  .  Columbi .  Anti-

POLLAJUOLO,  Antonio  del.    Florentine  School 

Bom  at  Florence,  1429;  died  at  Rome,  1498.  Antonio  and  his  brother 
Pietro  were  workers  in  bronze  and  silver  ornaments,  and  also  painters.  It  is 
said  that  Antonio  was  the  first  artist  who  dissected  the  human  body  in  order 
to  know  how  to  represent  it.  Their  most  excellent  productions  represented 
contests  of  strength  and  muscular  action,  such  as  "  Hercules  and  Hydra,"  and 
the  "Death  of  Antaeus."  In  painting,  their  model  was  Andrea  del  Castagno. 
Their  masterpiece  is,  without  doubt,  "St.  Sebastian,"  in  the  National  Gallery. 
"The  Archangel  and  Tobit"  is  in  the  Gallery  of  Turin.  Other  examples  are 
seen  in  the  Galleries  of  Florence,  Berlin,  Munich,  and  Modena.

topher, with  a  halo  about  his  head  and  a  palm-tipped  staff  in  his  right  hand, 
is  crossing  the  dangerous  stream  with  the  Divine  Infant  on  his  shoulder.  The 
Infant  upholds  the  globe  with  His  left  hand  and  His  right  arm  encircles  the 
neck  of  the  saint.  The  distant  shores  are  seen  on  either  side  and  the  blue  sky 
is  above.

POUSSIN,  Gaspard.    (Real  name,  Gaspard  Dughet.)  French 

School 

Bom  at  Rome,  1613;  died  there,  1675.  Landscape  painter.  Pupil 
and  follower  of  his  brother-in-law,  Nicolas  Poussin,  whose  name  he  adopted. 
Later  he  became  more  individual  in  style.  He  worked  very  rapidly,  some- 
times painting  a  large  picture  in  a  single  day.  In  the  Palazzo  Borghese, 
Rome,  are  walls  entirely  painted  by  him,  and  in  the  Palazzo  Colonna  are 
several  friezes  by  this  artist

POUSSIN,  Nicolas.    French  School 

Bom  at  Villeres,  District  of  les  Andelys,  Normandy,  1594,  died  at  Rome 
1665.  History  and  landscape  painter.  Pupil  of  Quentin  Varin  in  Andelys, 
and  of  Neol,  Jouvenet,  Ferdinand  Elle,  and  Lallemont,  in  Paris.  Went  to 
Rome  in  1624,  where  he  studied  with  Duquesnay;  married  the  daughter  of 

139 


Jacques  Dughet,  and  adopted  his  two  sons,  Jean  and  Gaspard,  the  latter  took 
his  name  and  afterwards  rivalled  him  in  fame  as  a  painter. 

In  1640,  Louis  XIII  sent  M.  de  Chanteloup  to  bring  him  back  to  France. 
Although  the  King  made  him  his  first  painter,  and  showered  honors  upon  him, 
Poussin  found  his  position  so  intolerable  on  account  of  the  jealous  intrigues  of 
Vouet,  Fouquieres,  and  Mercier  that  he  returned  to  Rome  on  leave  of  absence. 
The  death  of  Cardinal  Richelieu,  in  1642,  and  of  the  King  in  the  following  year, 
left  him  free  to  remain  in  Rome  the  remainder  of  his  life. 

His  noble  style,  his  skill  in  composition,  his  elegance  in  the  grouping  and 
disposition  of  figures,  and  his  truly  grand  and  poetic  feeling  in  landscape, 
entitle  him  to  the  first  place  among  painters  of  the  French  school.

PRATT,  Matthew.    American  School. 

Bom  at  Philadelphia,  September  23,  1734;  died  in  his  native  city,  Janu- 
ary 6,  1805.  His  first  instructor  in  art  was  his  matemal  uncle,  James  Clay- 
poole,  whose  works  unfortunately  cannot  be  identified;  that  he  possessed  no 
inconsiderable  skill  and  knowledge  in  his  profession  is  attested  by  the  thorough 
grounding  of  his  pupil.  Pratt,  after  doing  considerable  work  in  Philadelphia, 
sailed  for  London,  in  June,  1764,  accompanying  Miss  Shewell  (whose  uncle 
had  married  Pratt's  aunt),  and  on  September  2,  1764,  he  gave  her  in  marriage 
to  the  future  President  of  the  Royal  Academy.  After  a  residence  of  two  years 
and  a  half  with  West,  in  London,  whose  first  American  pupil  he  was,  he  spent 
eighteen  months  in  Bristol,  and  shortly  after  returned  to  Philadelphia,  where 
he  set  up  his  easel  in  the  spring  of  1768.  In  1770,  he  made  a  brief  visit  to  Ire- 
land, and  painted  several  important  pictures,  among  which  was  a  whole  length 

140 


portrait  of  Archdeacon  Isaac  Mann,  in  liis  robes,  which  was  exhibited  in  Dublin 
at  the  Irish  Academy.  He  passed  a  portion  of  the  year  1772  in  New  York, 
during  which  time  he  painted  a  full-length  portrait  of  Cadwalader  Golden  for 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  which  is  still  in  possession  of  that  body.  About  the 
same  period  he  painted  the  portraits  of  several  members  of  the  Walton  family. 
His  portrait  of  West  and  wife  are  in  the  Pennsylvania  Academy  of  Fine  Arts, 
Philadelphia,  and  that  city  also  boasts  of  the  earliest  authenticated  likeness  of 
the  great  American  philosopher,  Franklin,  which  is  his  work. 

206  THE  AMERICAN  SCHOOL. 

This  interesting  picture  represents  West's  painting  room  in  London.  To 
the  left,  West,  with  hat  on,  stands  by  Pratt,  correcting  a  drawing.  At  the 
right  of  the  painting,  with  palette  and  brushes  in  hand,  is  another  student  who 
has  turned  to  listen  to  the  words  of  the  master.  In  the  center  are  two  younger 
students,  one  of  whom  is  supposed  to  be  Abraham  Delanoy,  of  New  York,  who 
was  studying  with  West  at  that  time,  and  whose  portrait  by  West  was  recently 
in  the  possession  of  the  De  Peyster  family.  The  picture  was  exhibited  by 
Pratt,  at  the  Old  Spring  Gardens,  in  London,  in  1766,  imder  the  title  still 
preserved. 

This  picture  shows  Pratt  to  have  been  an  artist  of  no  ordinary  ability,  as 
it  is  a  remarkable  composition  to  have  been  executed  at  so  early  a  day  by  an 
American  artist,  and  its  color,  scheme,  and  detail  are  worthy  of  special  notice.

PRUD'HON,  Pierre.    French  School 

Bom  at  Cluny  (Saone-et-Loire) ,  1758;  died  at  Paris,  1823.  After  study- 
ing a  short  time  at  Paris,  he  went,  in  1782,  to  Rome,  where  he  remained  seven 
years.  Success  being  slow  after  his  return,  he  was  obliged  to  spend  several 
years  in  work  for  engravers  and  book  publishers;  but  good  fortune  arrived  at 
last.  He  was  chosen  as  instructor  to  the  Empress  Marie  Louise,  and  about  the 
same  time  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Institute  of  France.

Edinburgh.  He  soon  won  high  rank  in  his  art;  was  elected,  in  1812,  President

REMBRANDT  VAN  RIJN  (Rembrandt  Harmcnsz  Van 
Rijn).     Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Leyden,  July  15,  1606.  Buried  in  the  Westerkerk  (Church  of 
the  West)  at  Amsterdam,  October  8,  1669.  He  was  the  son  of  a  pros- 
perous miller  of  Leyden  whose  ambition  was  to  see  him  in  one  of  the  learned 
professions.  But  the  boy's  love  for  art  overcame  all  difficulties  and  oppo- 
sitions, and  he  entered  the  studio  of  Van  Swanenburg  as  a  pupil,  and 
later  that  of  Pieter  Lastman.  The  bold  strong  features  of  old  age  had  a  fas- 
cination for  Rembrandt,  the  bold  markings,  broad  planes,  and  vigorous  lines 
easily  gave  him  that  clue  to  a  mastery  of  expression  which  is  so  characteristic 
of  all  his  works.  In  1631  he  opened  a  studio  in  Amsterdam,  and  resided 
there  until  his  death.  In  1634  he  married  Saskia  Van  Uylenborch,  whose 
fair  face  and  form  are  seen  in  many  of  his  portraits,  biblical  and  historical 
pictures.  For  eight  years  fortune  smiled  upon  him;  his  studio  was  crowded 
with  pupils  and  he  had  patronage  far  beyond  his  needs.  But  Saskia  died 
in  1642  and  a  gloom  was  cast  over  the  life  of  the  young  painter.  In  the 
development  of  his  art  he  left  not  only  the  impress  of  his  own  individuality 
upon  each  work  by  his  hand,  but  recorded  the  characteristics  of  the  peo- 
ple among  whom  he  lived  with  a  vigor  and  vital  force  which  has  never  been 
equaled  and  is  well  illustrated  in  his  portrait  groups,  especially  that  of  the 
Syndics  in  the  Rycks  Museum  at  Amsterdam.  In  1650,  Hendrikje  StofTels, 
a  beautiful  young  girl  from  the  country,  came  to  live  in  his  home  as  house- 
keeper, where  she  remained  during  the  remainder  of  his  life  the  devoted  and 
loving  friend,  watching  over,  and  caring  for  him  tenderly  during  his  last 
days  of  poverty  and  misfortune  until  the  end  came.  Unfortunately,  Rem- 
brandt had  been  too  lavish  in  his  expenditures,  fashion  changed  and  under  the 
influence  of  French  tastes  for  the  lighter,  smoother,  and  more  elegant  and 
decorative  pictures,  Rembrandt  was  neglected  and  his  more  robust  art  found 
little  favor;  debts  accumulated,  commissions  were  few,  and  at  last  he  waa 
declared  a  bankrupt  and  his  whole  effects  were  sold  by  auction.  But  the 
artist  knew  his  powers,  and  the  most  splendid  achievements  of  his  life  were 
accomplished  when  he  was  in  direst  poverty  and  extreme  want. 

240  PORTRAIT  OF  A  MAN. 

A  man  about  forty  years  of  age  wearing  a  high  crown,  broad  brim,  black 
hat,  a  wide,  white  linen  collar  and  black  habit,  is  seated  a  little  to  the  right 
with  the  face  framed  in  long,  dark-brown  hair;  looking  out  of  the  canvas 
the  grave  eyes  meet  yours  with  the  sedate  but  kindly  look  of  one  who  in- 
vites acquamtance.  The  left  hand  partially  concealed  by  his  dress  and  a 
lace  ruff  at  the  wrist  are  seen  in  shadow  at  the  bottom  of  the  canvas. 

Painted  according  to  Dr.  Bode,  about  1640.  Purchased  from  the  Marquis

239  PORTRAIT  OF  A  MAN. 

He  is  seen  standing,  wearing  a  large  black  hat,  which  casts  a  deep  shadow 
over  the  upper  portion  of  his  countenance,  from  which  his  melancholy  eyes 
look  at  the  spectator  with  an  intense  dreamy  expression.  A  rich  golden 
brown  gaberdine  covers  his  figure,  which  has  but  little  relief  from  a  back- 
ground of  a  similar  tone.

This  picture  came  from  the  collection  formed  by  Sir  William  Knighton, 
Bart.,  physician  to  King  George  IV. 

Sir  William  Knighton,  besides  being  a  very  eminent  medical  man,  was  an 
accomplished  amateur  artist.  He  was  a  personal  friend  of  George  IV,  whilst 
Prince  Regent,  and  his  principal  adviser  in  the  formation  of  the  collection  of 
Dutch  pictures  at  Buckingham  Palace,  now  the  property  of  the  Crown. 

His  own  collection  was  kept  intact  until  within  a  few  years,  when  it  was 
sold  at  the  death  of  his  son,  who  left  no  successor;  the  baronetcy  becoming 
extinct.

241     THE  ADORATION  OF  THE  SHEPHERDS, 

The  shepherds  are  kneeling  around  the  Infant  Saviour  Who  lies  upon  a 
couch  of  straw  in  the  interior  of  a  stable,  wrapt  in  the  darkness  and  mystery 
of  night.  As  in  the  *'  Notte  "  of  Correggio,  a  supernatural  light  emanates  from 
the  Infant,  illuminating  the  surrounding  figures.  The  one  in  deep  shadow, 
kneeling,  in  the  foreground,  is  forcibly  relieved  against  the  principal  group. 
A  man  bearing  a  lantern  which  glimmers  in  the  darkness  has  just  entered  the 
stable  from  the  right  followed  by  another  group  of  figures,  one  of  whom  bears 
another  lantern. 

This  picture  is  a  replica  or  copy  of  the  one  in  the  National  Gallery  in 
London.

237  THE  MILLS. 

A  sombre  landscape  of  a  warm,  brownish  tone,  heavy  with  rain,  the  dull 
gray  clouds  are  reflected  in  the  waters  of  the  canal,  and  hang  over  the  distant 
landscape,  shadowing  almost  to  obscurity  the  long  line  of  mills  that  border 
the  artificial  stream.  But  the  old  red  mill,  which  stands  in  the  foreground, 
with  its  tiled  roof,  massive  walls,  and  arched  gateway,  the  moving  figures,  the 
quay,  and  the  boats  which  drift  upon  the  waters  of  the  canal,  are  in  a  perpetual

golden  glow,  despite  the  heavy  atmosphere  of  the  low  lands  of  Holland.  "  The 
old  mill,  in  which  Rembrandt  was  bom,"  is  inscribed  upon  the  back  of  this

REYNOLDS,  Sir  Joshua,  P.R.A.    English  School. 

First  President  of  the  Royal  Academy.  Bom  in  Devonshire,  at  Plympton 
Earl  1723,  where  his  father  was  a  schoolmaster.  Died  at  London,  1792. 
"Done  by  Joshua  out  of  pure  idleness,"  wrote  his  father  over  a  drawing  which 
the  boy  had  done  in  his  exercise-book.  "While  I  am  doing  this,"  wrote 
Joshua  himself  of  his  drawing,  a  few  years  later,  "I  am  the  happiest  creature 
alive."  When  he  was  eighteen  he  was  sent  to  London  to  study  under  Hudson. 
After  two  years  he  had  made  such  good  progress  as  to  estrange  his  master. 
After  a  year  spent  at  Plymouth  he  went  to  London  again;  but  upon  his 
father's  death  he  returned,  in  1746,  to  Plymouth,  where  he  won  the  friend- 
ship of  Lord  Edgcumbe,  who  introduced  him  to  Captain  Keppel,  who 
offered  to  take  him  to  Italy  on  board  his  own  ship,  the  "Centurion."  In 
May,  1749,  they  set  sail,  and  till  the  end  of  the  year  Reynolds  stayed  with  the 
Governor  of  Minorca,  painting  portraits.  For  two  years  he  studied  in 
Rome.  From  Rome  he  went  to  Parma,  Florence,  and  Venice.  At  Parma 
he  came  under  Correggio's  influence;  at  Venice  he  studied  Titian.  "To 
possess  a  real,  fine  picture  by  that  great  master,"  he  once  said,  "I  would  will- 
ingly ruin  myself." 

Reynolds  retumed  to  London  in  1752.  He  settled  first  in  St.  Martin's 
Lane;  afterwards  in  Great  Newport  Street,  and  finally  (from  1760  onward) 
in  Leicester  Square,  where  his  house  (No.  47)  may  still  be  seen — nearly  oppo- 
site to  the  site  of  Hogarth's.  From  this  time  forward  Reynold's  life  was  one 
unbroken  success.  Other  painters  arose  from  time  to  time  to  divide  his  popu- 
larity. Opie,  Gainsborough,  and  Hoppner;  but  Reynolds'  supremacy  was 
never  seriously  threatened.  In  1768,  when  the  Royal  Academy  w^as  founded, 
he  was  elected  President  by  acclamation,  and  was  knighted  by  the  king — an 
honor  which  has  ever  since  been  offered  to  the  holder  of  that  office.

ROUSSEAU,  Pierre  Etienne  Theodore.  BarUzon  School. 

Bom  at  Paris,  April  15,  1812;  died  at  Barbizon,  near  Fontainebleau, 
December  22,  1867.  Landscape  painter;  pupil  of  Remond  (1826)  and  of 
Lethiere.  Showed  himself  a  true  "naturalist"  in  his  first  picture  (1826),  and 
up  to  1848 — when  his  works,  after  being  for  thirteen  years  excluded  from  the 
Salon  by  the  Academical  Jury,  then  abolished,  were  readmitted — fought  the 
battle  of  naturalism  with  varying  success,  and  founded  the  modern  French 
school  of  landscape  painting,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  chief  glories.  Albert 
Wolfe  said  of  Rousseau:  "He  occupied  the  highest  place,  because  he  was  the 
most  perfect  master.  The  grand  aspect  of  landscape  and  its  tenderness  are 
equally  familiar  to  him.  He  renders  with  the  same  mastery  the  smile  of 
creation  and  its  terrors,  the  broad  open  plain  and  the  mysterious  forest;  the 
limpid,  sunbright  sky  or  the  heaping  of  the  clouds  put  to  flight  by  storms; 
the  terrible  aspect  of  landscape  or  those  replete  with  grace.  He  has  under- 
stood all,  rendered  all,  with  equal  genius.  The  great  contemporary  painters 
have  each  a  particular  stamp,  Corot  painting  the  grace;  Millet  the  hidden 
voice;  Jules  Dupre,  the  majestic  strength.  Theodore  Rousseau  has  been  by 
turns  as  much  a  poet  as  Corot,  as  melancholy  as  Millet,  as  awful  as  Dupre;  he 
is  the  most  complete,  for  he  embraces  landscape  art  absolutely."

RUBENS,  Peter  Paul.    Flemish  School. 

Bom  at  Siegen,  June  28,  1577,  baptized  (the  day  after  his  birth)  on 
the  festival  of  Saints  Peter  and  Paul  (hence  his  Christian  name),  is  the  chief 
glory  of  the  Flemish  school,  and  one  of  the  great  masters  of  the  world.  This 
remarkable  man,  scholar,  painter  and  diplomatist,  was  descended  from  two 
good  families.  His  father,  Jan  Rubens,  was  an  Alderman  of  Antwerp,  and 
his  mother,  Maria  Pypelinckx,  belonged  to  a  distinguished  family  of  the 
same  city.  Rubens'  talent  for  drawing  early  led  him  to  decide  upon  paint- 
ing as  a  profession.  He  entered  the  school  of  Adam  Van  Noort,  with  whom  he 
remained  four  years.  An()ther  four  years  was  passed  in  the  studio  of  Otto 
or  Otho  Vaenius,  whose  cultivation  of  mind  and  taste  was  of  more  advan- 
tage to  Rubens  than  his  instruction  in  painting.  In  1598  he  was  admitted 
to  the  Guild  of  Painters  in  Antwerp;  his  father  had  died,  and  his  mother 
had  returned  to  that  city.  In  1600  he  went  to  Venice  and  studied  the 
works  of  Titian  and  Paul  Veronese.  For  eight  years  Rubens  was  in  the 
service  of  the  Duke  of  Mantua.  An  excellent  Latin  scholar,  he  was  also 
proficient  in  French,  Italian,  English,  Clennan,  and  Dutch.  These  gifts  pro- 
cured him  diplomatic  employment.  In  1G03  he  wa«  sent  on  a  mission  to 
Spain.  In  1608  news  of  his  mother's  illness  readied  him,  and  he  hastened 
home,  when  he  was  appointed  Court  painter  to  the  Archduke  Albert,  then 
Governor  of  the  Netherlands.  In  1622  he  visited  Paris  at  the  invitation  of 
Marie  de'  Medici  (a  sister  of  the  Duchess  of  Mantua).  In  1628  he  was  sent  on 
a  mission  to  Philip  IV  of  Spain,  and  in  the  following  year  he  was  sent  to 
Charles  I  of  England.  Here  he  was  knighted,  and  wjis  given  an  honorary 
degree  by  the  University  of  Cambridge.  Hut  wherever  he  went,  Rubens  con- 
tinued to  paint,  and  his  diplomacy  he  considered  as  a  mere  recreation.  "The 
painter  Rubens,"  he  is  reported  to  have  said  of  himself,  "amuses  himself  with 
being  ambassador."  How  hard  he  labored  is  known  by  the  enonnous  number 
of  his  works — between  2,000  and  3,000.  In  1600  Rubens  married  his  first  wife, 
Isabella  Brant,  who  died  in  1626,  leaving  two  sons,  to  whom  Gevartius  was 
tutor.  It  was  in  1630  that  he  married  Helena  Fourment,  who  was  at  that 
time  but  sixteen  years  old.  She  bore  him  five  children,  survived  him,  and 
married  again.  Both  his  wives  so  often  served  him  for  models  that  their 
forms  and  faces  are  familiar  to  the  world.  He  died  May  30,  1640,  and  was 
buried  in  his  private  chapel  in  the  Church  of  St.  Jacques,  at  Antwerp,  which 
is  decorated  with  a  magnificent  work  of  his  own. 

48    RETURN  OF  THE  HOLY  FAXflLY  FROM  EGYPT. 

This  admirable  picture  was  painted  for  the  Church  of  the  Jesuits  at  Ant- 
werp prior  to  1620,  after  Rubens'  return  from  Italy,  and  before  he  had  called  in 
the  aid  of  assistants.    It  was  done  immediately  after  finishing  the  famous 

151 


"  Crucifixion  "  in  the  Cathedral  of  Antwerp,  and  before  the  execution  of  its  com- 
panion picture,  that  other  masterpiece,  "The  Descent  from  the  Cross;"  or,  in 
other  words,  at  the  period  when  this  prince  of  painters  produced  his  greatest 
works.  Grandeur  of  style  and  power  of  coloring  are  equally  the  characteristics 
of  "The  Return  from  Egypt."  Reference  is  made  to  it  in  the  catalogue  of  a 
sale,  May  20,  1777,  of  the  pictures  taken  from  churches  and  convents  of  the 
Jesuits,  at  Antwerp,  suppressed  by  the  decree  of  the  Emperor  Joseph  II: "  Re- 
turn from  Egypt.  The  Infant  Jesus,  the  Holy  Virgin,  and  St.  Joseph.  The 
Eternal  Father  is  seen  in  the  upper  part  of  the  picture,  enveloped  in  clouds. 
Well  grouped.  Painted  on  wood.  H.,  7  ft.  9  in. ;  B.,  5  ft.  4  in."  It  was  bought 
at  this  sale  by  the  rich  banker  Dannoot,  and  is  thus  described  in  the  catalogue  of 
the  Dannoot  sale  (page  27,  No.  61),  held  at  Brussels  in  1829,  when  it  was  bought 
by  Mr.  Buchanan,  one  of  the  most  skillful  London  experts:  "The  Return  from 
Egypt.  The  Holy  Virgin  and  St.  Joseph  hold  by  the  hand  the  Redeemer  of 
the  World.  The  mother  looks  with  solicitude  on  the  Divine  Infant.  The 
Child  raises  His  eyes  to  her,  and  seems  to  announce  to  her  a  happier  destiny. 
The  Father  from  heaven  contemplates  this  scene  with  tenderness.  An 
admirable  picture,  well  composed,  and  painted  with  decision.  It  cannot  be 
seen  without  exciting  a  sentiment  of  respect  and  devotion."  It  is  also  men- 
tioned in  Smith's  Catalogue,  Vol.  2,  page  21,  No.  71.  Smith's  description  is 
from  Bolswert's  engraving,  where  the  engraver  has  introduced  the  Holy 
Spirit,  and  an  aureole  around  the  head  of  St.  Joseph,  which  never  existed  in 
the  original;  and  is  described  in  the  Life  of  P.  P.  Rubens,  by  I.  F.  Michel, 
Brussels,  1771 :  At  the  end  of  the  small  nave  at  the  right  is  another  piece  by 
the  same  master,  representing  the  Virgin  and  St.  Joseph  leading  the  Infant 
Jesus  by  the  hand.  Although  the  composition  is  unpretentious,  the  feeling  in 
the  heads  and  the  beauty  of  the  flesh  tints  cause  it  to  be  much  admired."  It 
is  also  mentioned  in  all  the  other  guide-books  for  amateurs  in  Belgium,  etc., 
and  in  the  "Histoire  de  P.  P.  Rubens,"  by  Andrew  Van  Hasselt,  page  248, 
No.  214,  and  in  the  Dictionary  of  Painters,"  by  A.  Siret,  page  787,  2d  edition. 
This  picture  was  transferred  from  wood  to  canvas  between  1879  and  1882  and 
was  seriously  injured  at  that  time  in  an  attempt  at  restoration.

49  THE  HOLY  FAMILY. 

The  Virgin  is  seated  at  the  right  dressed  in  a  red  robe,  with  an  under-skirt 
of  a  deeper  tone  which  is  folded  across  her  lap;  from  underneath,  the  white 
drapery  falls  to  her  feet.  Her  left  arm  is  extended  and  rests  gracefully  on  the 
folds  of  a  dark  green  mantle  which  has  been  laid  over  the  back  of  her  seat. 
The  Infant  Christ  standing  upon  His  mother's  knee,  with  one  arm  thrown 
about  Her  neck  and  the  other  extended  downwards,  turns  His  head  in  loving 
greeting  to  St.  John.  Behind  the  Mother  and  Child  is  St.  Elizabeth,  her  right 
hand  gently  touching  the  Infant's  arm,  and  above,  at  the  right,  St.  Joseph 
contemplates  the  scene.  At  the  left  of  the  composition,  St.  Francis  d'Assisi 
in  the  brown  habit  of  the  Franciscan  order  with  his  arms  crossed  over  hi? 
breast,  bends  forward  with  an  expression  of  rapt  devotion.    At  his  feet  is  tht

33    CAMBYSES'  PUNISHMENT  OF  AN  UNJUST  JUDGE. 

It  is  a  tradition  that  the  Persian  king,  Cambyses,  caused  an  unjust  and 
prevaricating  judge  to  be  skinned  alive,  and  then  appointed  his  son  to  fill  the 
chair  made  vacant  bv  the  death  of  his  father,  and  obliged  him  to  sit  upon  a 
cushion  made  of  his  father's  skin.  Over  the  judge's  seat  the  painter  has  dis- 
played the  face  and  hands  of  the  victim.  A  finished  study  for  the  painting 
made  for  the  Magistrates'  Hall  at  the  city  of  Brussels,  and  which  was  destroyed 
in  the  conflagration  caused  by  the  bombardment  in  1695.

RUiSDAEL  (RUYSDAEL),  Jacob  Isaacksz  Van.  Dutch 
School. 

Bom  at  Haarlem,  1628  or  1629;  died  there,  1682.  Son  and  pupil  of 
Izack  Van  Ruisdael;  probably  also  pupil  of  his  uncle  Salomon  Van  Ruysdael. 
Became  the  greatest  landscape  painter  of  the  Dutch  School. 

In  1648  he  joined  the  Guild  of  St.  Luke,  at  Haarlem,  and  in  1659  obtained 
the  rights  of  citizenship  at  Amsterdam.  He  was  little  appreciated  by  his  con- 
temporaries, and  gained  but  a  scant  maintenance  by  his  art.  The  figures 
introduced  in  his  landscapes  are  by  Berchem,  Adrian  Van  de  Velde,  Wouwer- 
man,  Lingelbach,  Venneer,  and  Eglin  Van  der  Neer.  Ruisdael  was  an

SCHEFFER,  Ary.     French  School 

Bom  at  Dordrecht,  Feb.  10,  1795;  died  at  Argenteuil,  June  15,  1858. 
History  and  portrait  painter;  son  of  Johann  Baptist  Scheffer;  pupil  of 
Gu^rin.  Sympathizing  neither  with  the  classic  school  represented  by  his 
master,  nor  the  romantic  led  by  G^ricault  and  Delacroix,  Scheffer  took  up  a 
class  of  subjects  which  showed  his  sympathy  with  the  cause  of  freedom,  such 
as  the  Suliote  women,  an  episode  of  the  Greek  war,  and  the  Battle  of  Morat. 
Influenced  by  Ingres,  he  sought  and  obtained  greater  purity  of  form,  and 
painted  subjects  from  Goethe  and  Byron.  In  1836  he  was  appointed  art 
instructor  to  the  Orleans  family,  and  directed  the  studies  of  Princess  Marie 
in  sculpture.  In  1836  he  accompanied  the  Due  d'Orl^ans  and  General  Bau- 
brand,  whose  widow  he  afterwards  married,  to  the  siege  of  Antwerp,  and  after 
his  return  painted  several  military  episodes  for  Versailles.  Between  1835  and 
1848  he  produced  his  greatest  works,  the  "Christus  Consolator  and  Judex," 
the  "Francesca"  and  the  "Mignon."  When  the  Revolution  broke  out, 
Scheffer  assisted  the  King  and  his  family  in  their  escape  from  Paris,  and  then 
went  to  Holland  and  England  for  rest.  The  coup  d'etat  of  1852,  which  gave 
Louis  Napoleon  the  throne,  was  a  blow  to  his  hopes  which  finally  disgusted  him 
with  politics,  from  which  he  withdrew  altogether.  Five  years  later,  after  a  last 
visit  to  England,  he  lost  his  friends  Manin  and  the  Duches&e  d'0rl6ans,  to 
whom  he  was  much  attached.  After  attending  the  funeral  of  the  latter,  he 
returned  much  broken  to  France,  and  shortly  after  died. 
668  PETER'S  REPENTANCE. 

At  the  right  of  the  picture  is  the  figure  of  Our  Saviour  in  a  white  habit, 
his  hands  are  bound  with  a  heavy  cord  and  his  face  is  turned  to  the  left  looking 
reproachfully  at  Peter  who  with  his  hands  clai>ped  and  raised  before  him  is 
fleeing  from  the  place ;  a  soldier  in  a  steel  lielmet  stands  behind  the  figure  of 
Christ,  and  his  disciples  crowd  forward  raising  their  hands  in  indignation. 
Large  columns  and  a  piece  of  sky  form  the  background.  The  figures  are  life- 
size  seen  to  the  knees

634     BARON  ALEXANDER  VON  HUMBOLDT, 
Painted  from  life  at  the  age  of  89  years. 

In  the  year  1857,  the  late  Mr.  Albert  Havemeyer,  of  this  city,  being  then 
in  Berlin,  called  on  Baron  yon  Humboldt  and  requested  him  to  sit  for  his 
portrait  to  the  eminent  artist,  Julius  Schrader.  The  Baron  was  obliged  to 
decline  the  frequent  and  urgent  solicitations  of  his  many  admirers  for  a  similar 
favor,  but  having  in  the  United  States  many  personal  friends  and  acquaint- 
ances whom  he  thought  would  be  gratified  to  see  a  good  portrait  of  him, 
cheerfully  consented  to  sit;  and  taking  from  his  table  a  number  of  sketches 
made  of  himself,  he  selected  one  having  in  the  background  Chimborazo,  and 
said,  "I  will  be  painted  sitting  here,"  designating  the  spot  with  Chimborazo 
in  the  distance.  The  artist  commenced  the  picture  at  once,  and  at  its  com- 
pletion the  Baron  expressed  himself  as  delighted  with  it.  This  was  the  last 
portrait,  from  life,  of  Humboldt.

SHEE,  Sir  Martin  Archer.   English  School. 

Bom  at  Dublin,  1769;  died  at  Brighton,  1850.  He  came  from  an  old 
Irish  family,  and  it  was  Burke  who  introduced  him,  when  he  came  from  Dublin 
to  London  in  1789,  to  Reynolds.  His  own  suavity  and  good  manners  were 
even  better  introductions  to  the  portrait  painter's  clientele,  and  he  soon  met 
with  distinguished  patrons.    In  1789  he  was  elected  A.R.A.,  and  having  mar- 

159 


ried,  moved  into  Romney's  old  house  in  Cavendish  Square.  In  1800  he  be- 
came R.A.,  and  upon  the  death  of  Sir  Thomas  Lawrence,  in  1830,  he  was 
elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  Royal  Academy.  In  1805  he  published  a 
volume  of  verse  (followed  in  1809  and  1814  by  others),  which  called  forth 
praise  from  Byron  in  his  ''English  Bards  and  Scotch  Reviewers": 

"  And  here  let  Shee  and  genius  find  a  place, 
Whose  pen  and  pencil  yield  an  equal  grace: 
While  honors,  doubly  merited,  attend 
The  poet's  rival,  but  the  painter's  friend."

Born  at  Leyden,  1640;  died  there,  1691.  Pupil  of  Gerard  Dou.  He 
devoted  himself  chiefly  to  genre  subjects,  homely  scenes.  His  execution  was 
labored,  and  his  composition  without  grace.

name,  Hendrick  Maertensz  Rokes.  Genre  painter;  pupil  of  Willem  Buytewech; 
formed  his  manner  after  the  works  of  Brouwer,  though  more  dull  and  heavy  in 
color.  He  represented  peasant  scenes,  conversations,  and  kitchen  interiors, 
with  genuine  feeling  for  nature,  good  drawing,  and  careful  execution.

STARK,  James.    English  School. 

Born  at  Norwich,  1749;  died  at  London,  1859.  He  was  for  three  yeara 
a  pupil  of  "Old  Crome,"  and  then  went  to  London  and  exhibited  his  first  pic- 
ture at  the  Royal  Academy  in  1817.  Returned  to  Norwich,  and  took  a  promi- 
nent part  in  the  exhibitions  there.  Contributed  to  the  Royal  Academy  and 
British  Institutions,  where  in  1818  he  won  a  premium  of  £50.  In  1821  he 
removed  to  Yarmouth,  but  soon  returned  to  Norwich,  and  in  1827  he  pub- 
lished there  his  "  Scenery  of  the  Rivers  of  Norfolk."  He  removed  to  London, 
and  in  1839  to  Windsor.  In  1849  he  returned  to  London.  His  masterpiece,

STEEN,  Jan  Havicksz.    Dutch  School. 

Bom  at  Leyden  about  1626;  died  there,  1679.  He  loved  a  jovial,  roister- 
ing life,  and  as  a  tavern  keeper  was  able  to  indulge  himself.  It  is  remarkable 
that  in  his  half  drunken  state  he  could  have  executed  two  hundred  works  of  so 
much  merit.  He  studied  first  with  Nicholas  Knupfer,  and  Van  Goyen,  whose 
daughter  he  married  in  1649,  and  developed  under  the  influence  of  Frans  Hals 
and  Adrian  Van  Ostade.  He  was  fond  of  representing  the  humorous  and 
ludicrous  scenes  incident  to  the  life  which  he  led,  degenerating  often  into 
vulgarity.  His  pictures  may  be  seen  in  nearly  all  of  the  large  Continental 
Galleries.

Near  the  entrance  to  an  old  tavern  where  the  sign  of  an  elephant  hangs 
over  the  door  and  a  banner  is  flung  to  the  breeze  from  a  window  above,  happy 
people  look  down  upon  a  young  man  standing  upon  a  tub  fiddling  for  the 
dancers  in  their  merry  sport,  and  a  boatload  of  hilarious  souls  are  just  pushing 
from  the  shore,  bidding  adieu  to  a  friend  who  raises  his  cap  with  his  right  hand 
and  extends  his  left  with  a  full  mug  of  beer  in  a  parting  salute.  A  cool,  cloudy 
sky,  an  arched  bridge  over  a  stream  of  water,  a  group  of  trees  in  the  center, 
with  the  old  tavern  at  the  left,  form  the  landscape;  and  in  the  immediate 
middle  foreground  is  a  family  group  with  a  basket  of  refreshments,  and  a 
black  dog  in  repose.

STUART,  Gilbert.    American  School 

Born  at  Narragansett,  Rhode  Island,  December  3,  1755;  died  Boston, 
July  27,  1828.  After  some  unaided  efforts  he  received  instruction  from 
Cosmo  Alexander,  a  Scotch  portrait  painter,  whom  he  accompanied  to  Scot- 
land in  1772.  The  death  of  his  master  left  Stuart  to  shift  for  himself,  and 
after  stmggling  a  while  at  the  University  of  Glasgow,  he  returned  home.  In 
1775  he  went  again  to  England,  where  he  found  a  friend  in  Benjamin  West, 
whose  studio  he  entered  as  a  pupil,  but  soon  became  an  assistant  to  his  master. 
In  1785  he  set  up  a  studio  of  his  own  in  London,  achieving  marked  popularity 
and  financial  success.  He  visited  Ireland  in  1788,  where  he  was  received  with 
great  favor,  and  painted  the  portraits  of  many  distinguished  persons,  and 
retumed  to  America  in  1792.  Soon  after  his  arrival  in  New  York  the  Duke  of 
Kent  offered  to  send  a  ship  of  war  for  him  if  he  would  go  to  Nova  Scotia  and 
paint  his  portrait,  but  he  declined  the  offer.  Among  his  sitters  in  Europe 
were  three  Kings:  Louis  XVI,  George  III,  and  George  IV  while  Prince  of 
Wales.  He  painted  also  Alderman  Boydell,  John  Kemble,  Sir  Joshua  Rey- 
nolds, Benjamin  West,  and  many  other  distinguished  artists.    Six  Presidents

Quincy  Adams.  After  working  two  years  in  New  York,  Philadelphia,  and 
Washington,  Stuart  settled  in  Boston,  where  he  resided  the  remainder  of  his 
life.  Stuart  was  gifted  with  a  perception  which  enabled  him  to  select  the  true 
lines  of  thought  and  character  of  his  sitter,  which  he  rendered  without  hesita- 
tion. A  collection  of  two  hundred  and  fifteen  of  his  works  was  exhibited  in 
the  Boston  Athenaeum  soon  after  his  decease,  for  the  benefit  of  his  family, 
which  realized  a  considerable  sum.

SULLY,  Thomas.    American  School 

Bom  at  Homcastle,  Lincolnshire,  England,  June  8,  1783;  died,  Philadel-- 
phia,  November  5,  1872.  Portrait  painter.  Taken  to  Charleston,  S.  C,  by  his 
parents,  who  were  comedians,  in  1792;  was  first  instructed  by  M.  Belzons,  a 
French  miniature  painter,  in  Richmond,  Va.,  and  painted  there,  and  at  Nor- 
folk until  his  brother  Lawrence's  death,  in  1804.  In  1806,  having  married  his 
brother's  widow,  he  removed  to  New  York,  and  lived  there,  excepting  a  short 
visit  to  Boston  for  instruction  from  Gilbert  Stuart,  until  1808,  when  he 
removed  to  Philadelphia.  In  1809  he  went  to  London,  studied  several 
months  under  Benjamin  West,  and  coming  back  in  1810,  settled  permanently 
in  Philadelphia.  He  again  visited  England  in  1837-38,  and  in  the  latter  year 
painted  from  life  a  portrait  of  Queen  Victoria,  from  which  he  painted  a  full- 
length  portrait  of  this  Queen  arrayed  in  robes  of  state.  Between  1820  and

TENIERS,  David  (the  Elder).    Flemish  School 

Born  at  Antwerp,  1582;  died  there,  1649.  Pupil  of  his  elder  brother 
Juliaen,  of  Rubens,  and  in  Rome  of  Adam  Elsheimer.  Master  of  Antwerp 
Guild  in  1606;  painted  chiefly  peasant  scenes,  but  occasionally  biblical  and 
mythological  subjects. 

7  A  DUTCH  KITCHEN. 

Before  this  picture  came  into  the  possession  of  the  Museum,  the  beef, 
which  is  now  seen  suspended  at  the  right,  was  completely  obliterated  by  a 
dark-gray  cloth  and  other  objects,  which  had  been  painted  over  it  in  an 
attempt  to  conceal  or  repair  an  injury  to  the  canvas.  The  painting  has 
recently  been  cleaned  and  these  objects  removed,  leaving  the  composition 
the  same  as  when  the  picture  left  the  easel  of  the  artist. 

In  a  spacious  old  kitchen  with  heavy  oak  beams,  at  the  right  a  newly 
dressed  beef  is  suspended  with  a  bowl  beneath  to  catch  the  drippings;  be- 
hind a  man  and  a  woman  are  engaged  in  conversation.  In  the  center  above 
there  is  a  window  and  underneath  it  a  door,  through  which  a  man  is  stepping 
with  a  bowl  in  his  outstretched  hands.  At  the  left  a  woman  in  a  bright  red 
waist,  white  apron,  and  dark  green  skirt,  stands  by  an  open  well  with  an 
earthen  pitcher  resting  on  the  curb.  She  is  surrounded  with  kitchen  uten- 
sils, a  shining  brass  kettle,  jars,  and  a  small  table,  covered  with  vegetables. 
A  white  spotted  dog  stands  in  the  near  foreground,  and  a  bright  red  liver,

TENIERS,  David  (the  Younger).    Flemish  School. 

Bom  at  Antwerp,  1610;  died  at  Perck,  near  Brussels,  1690.  The  most 
eminent  genre  painter  of  Belgium.  He  was  instructed  by  his  father,  but 
was  very  much  influenced  by  Rubens.  His  first  wife  was  the  daughter 
of  Jan  Brueghel,  and  the  second,  Isabelle  de  Fren,  a  daughter  of  the  Secre- 
tary of  State  for  Brabant.  He  was  much  favored  by  the  Archduke  Leopold 
William,  and  by  Don  Juan,  of  Austria;  he  excelled  in  representations  of  the 
alchemist,  fairs,  and  festivals  of  all  sorts.  His  touch  was  light  and  brilliant, 
his  coloring  exquisitely  beautiful. 

Teniers,  though  a  Fleming  by  birth,  belongs  rather  to  the  Dutch  school 
in  style,  being  one  of  the  principal  genre  painters,  of  whom  most  of  the  other 
leading  masters  are  Dutch.  The  place  of  Teniers  in  art  history  is  that  he 
was  par  excellence  the  painter  of  the  pleasures  of  the  ale-house  and  card- 
table.  He  was  refined  in  person,  enjoyed  the  highest  patronage,  and  was 
the  friend  of  courtiers  and  princes.  Yet  he  remained  throughout  his  life 
the  painter  of  the  pot-house. 

77  A  MARRIAGE  FESTIVAL. 

The  foreground  is  occupied  with  peasants  who  are  dancing  to  the  music 
of  a  bagpipe.  At  the  right  and  behind  under  the  trees  a  multitude  of  people, 
in  hilarious  enjoyment  of  the  wedding  feast,  are  seated  at  tables  which  ex- 
tend to  the  door  of  the  farm-house.  In  the  middle  distance  at  the  left  two 
men  are  quarreling  and  friends  of  each  are  seen  coming  to  the  rescue.  Public 
buildings  and  a  church-spire  rise  from  the  village  in  the  distance  into  a 
sunny  evening  sky.

from  an  opening  to  the  sky  at  the  left  of  the  spectator,  in  rapt  devotion, 
with  his  open  Bible  resting  on  a  skull,  a  jar  of  water,  and  the  exalted  cross 
before  him,  turns  his  head  at  the  instigation  of  a  fiend  in  monkish  garb  to 
a  beautiful  woman,  led  by  an  imp  in  human  shape  into  his  presence.  At 
the  right,  a  group  of  gnomes  with  monstrous  forms  and  hideous  mien,  sur- 
round a  woman  who  sleeps;  one  is  mounted  on  a  boar;  others  are  in  the

form  of  bats,  frogs,  and  flying  fish,  and  two  mounted  eives  float  in  the  air 
above.    St.  Anthony  clasps  his  hands  in  agony  of  spirit.

Born  at  Weymouth,  in  1676;  died,  1734.  Pupil  in  London  of  Thomas 
Highmore;  was  patronized  by  Queen  Anne,  who  made  him  her  Sergeant

an  individual  feeling  in  first  exhibited  works,  1836.  A  visit  to  Holland

great  technical  skill  and  inexhaustible  resources  as  a  colorist,  and  other 
rare  endowments,  enabled  him  to  grapple  with  all  the  varying  moods  and 
effects  of  nature,  and  in  this  new  line  of  cattle  and  landscape  painter  he 
soon  became  illustrious.  Medals:  third  class,  1838;  second  class,  1840;

Bom  at  Lebanon,  Conn.,  June  6,  1756;  died,  New  York,  November  10, 
1843.  History  and  portrait  painter.  Served  in  the  War  of  Independence, 
in  1775,  as  aide-de-camp  to  Washington,  and  in  1776  as  deputy  Adjutant- 
General  under  Gates;  retired  from  service  in  1777  with  rank  of  Colonel. 
Went  to  London  in  1780  to  study  under  Benjamin  West,  but  was  imprisoned 
eight  months,  and  returned  home  in  1782;  went  again  on  the  conclusion 
of  peace,  and  resumed  his  studies.  His  "Battle  of  Bunker  Hill"  (1786, 
engraved  by  J.  G.  Miiller)  was  the  first  of  a  series  of  historical  works  illus- 
trating the  war  of  the  Revolution.    It  was  followed  by  the  "  Death  of  Mont- 

171 


gomery"  (engraved  by  F.  Clements),  and  the  "Sortie  from  Gibraltar"

Jay  to  England  in  1794  as  Secretary  of  Legation,  and  was  engaged  several 
years  in  diplomatic  work;  painted  in  England  in  1808-15,  and  was  engaged

TURNER,  Joseph  Mallord  William.    English  School 

Born  in  Maiden  Lane,  Covent  Garden,  London,  1775;  died,  1851.  He 
was  the  son  of  a  barber,  and  his  father  intended  him  for  his  own  profession. 
Of  his  earlier  sketches,  made  in  pencil  and  india  ink  when  he  was  a  boy,  a 
large  proportion  consists  of  careful  studies  of  stranded  boats,  and  different 
parts  of  old  Dutch  shipping.  He  hired  himself  out  every  evening  to  wash 
in  skies  in  india  ink  in  other  people's  drawings,  at  half  a  crown  a  night,  get- 
ting his  supper  into  the  bargain.  It  was  in  water  color  that  Turner  first 
painted.  By  1789  he  began  to  paint  in  oils,  and  this  great  genius,  who  now 
holds  the  first  place  in  English  landscape  art,  entered  the  Royal  Academy 
as  a  student  at  the  age  of  thirteen,  and  under  the  prevailing  influence  of  the 
day  studied  the  works  of  Claude  Lorrain,  the  Poussins,  Salvator  Rosa,  and 
other  classical  painters.  A  close  observer  and  diligent  student,  nature 
early  revealed  to  his  mind  an  illimitable  source  of  glorious  truths,  which 
left  no  room  for  influences,  methods,  or  conceits,  other  than  those  which 
his  unerring  accuracy  of  perception  led  him  to  formulate  for  the  perfect 
rendering  of  material  loveliness  with  unrivaled  precision.  Ruskin  says: 
"The  great  distinctive  passion  of  Turner's  nature — that  which  separates 
him  from  all  other  modern  landscape  painters — is  his  sympathy  with  sorrow, 
deepened  by  his  continual  sense  of  the  power  of  death.  Colossal  in  power, 
he  was  also  tender  and  delicate  in  harmony  of  tint  and  subtlety  of  drawing. 
He  had  a  perfect  grasp  of  English  scenery,  and  shrank  from  no  labor  in 
expressing  details.  His  Yorkshire  drawings  are  peculiarly  rich  and  varied 
in  composition,  the  rock  and  hill  forms  being  marvelously  accurate,  while 

172 


his  skies  and  effects  of  mist  are  exquisitely  rendered.  Glorious  in  conception 
— unfathomable  in  knowledge — solitary  in  power — with  the  elements  waiting 
upon  his  will,  and  the  night  and  morning  obedient  to  his  call,  sent  as  a  prophet 
of  God  to  reveal  to  men  the  mysteries  of  a  universe;  standing  like  the  great 
angel  of  the  Apocalypse,  clothed  with  a  cloud,  and  with  a  rainbow  upon  his 
head,  and  with  the  sun  and  stars  given  into  his  hand."

1812-14.  Purchased  in  1851  by  John  Miller,  of  Liverpool,  for  300  guineas. 
A  letter  from  John  Ruskin,  dated  November  22,  1852,  says:  "I  once  bid 
up  to  £300  for  it,  but  it  went  higher,  and  I  had  no  more  to  give."  Mr. 
Miller  exhibited  it  at  Manchester  in  1857,  and  at  his  sale  in  1858  it  was  bought 
in  at  £430  by  his  daughter,  who  exhibited  it  in  1885  at  the  Royal  Academy.

mingles  in  a  mysterious  way  with  the  light  stratus  clouds  which  rise  from

341  THE  WHALE  SHIP. 

"Hurrah  for  the  good  ship  Erebus! 
Another  Fish." 

(Vide  Beale's  Voyage.) 

A  white,  phantom-like  ship,  under  full  sail,  is  seen  emerging  through 
the  misty  atmosphere  into  view,  and  a  large  whale,  which  has  just  been 
harpooned,  rears  its  huge  head  from  the  sea  in  the  foreground  and  is  spouting 
water  stained  with  blood;  with  its  tail  it  has  overturned  one  of  the  four 
boats  put  out  for  its  capture.  The  picture  is  luminous  and  lovely  in  color, 
with  a  variety  of  hues  in  both  sky  and  water  which  are  infinitely  beautiful. 
This  painting  was  purchased  by  Dr.  Munro,  of  Novar,  one  of  Turner's  earliest 
patrons,  at  the  R.  A.  Exhibition  in  1846.  Re-sold  to  Sir  Francis  Seymour 
Haden,  1884,  from  whom  it  was  acquired  by  the  Museum  for  the  Wolfe 
Gallery  in  1896.  (It  was  exhibited  at  the  Royal  Academy  Exhibition  of 
Masters  in  1892.)    It  has  never  been  engraved.

her  collection,  1896.

VANDERLYN,  John.    American  School. 

Born  at  Kingston,  Ulster  County,  New  York,  1776;  died  there,  Sept.  23, 
1852.  Pupil  of  Gilbert  Stuart,  friend  and  protege  of  Aaron  Burr,  whose 
portrait  he  painted.  Studied  in  1796-1801  in  Paris,  where  he  painted  from 
1803  to  1815.  Medal  at  Paris,  1808,  for  his  "Marius  Among  the  Ruins  at 
Carthage."  "Ariadne  in  Naxos"  is  a  beautiful  ideal  and  is  now  in  the

Bom  at  Heemskerk,  1498;  died  at  Haarlem,  1574.  (Called  Martin 
Heemskerk.)  His  works  are  not  numerous.  His  manner  was  hard,  dry

68    PORTRAIT  OF  HIS  FATHER,  JACOB  WILLEMS  VAN 

VEEN. 

A  realistic  work,  in  which  is  portrayed  with  great  force  the  character 
of  the  individual.  His  habit  is  black  and  upon  his  head  is  a  large  black 
hat.*  The  face  is  turned  slightly  to  the  left  into  a  full  broad  light,  and  the 
deep  dark  eyes  look  directly  mto  those  of  the  spectator.  The  flesh  is  leathery 
in  quality,  but  it  is  boldly  modeled  and  full  of  vital  energy.

VELAZQUEZ,  Diego  Rodriguez  de  Silva  y.    Spanish  School. 

Bom  at  Seville,  1599;  died  at  Madrid,  1660.  Both  his  parents  were 
of  noble  blood — his  father's  name  being  Silva,  his  mother's  Velazquez.  Hia 

175 


talent  for  drawing  quickly  showed  itself.  He  studied  first  with  Herrera 
el  Viejo,  a  painter  of  Seville,  his  second  master  being  Pacheco,whose  daughter 
he  married  in  1618,  and  whose  house,  says  one  of  the  Spanish  historians, 
was  "the  golden  prison  of  painting";  and  it  was  here  that  Velazquez  met 
Cervantes  and  obtained  his  first  introduction  to  the  brilliant  circle  in  which 
he  himself  was  to  shine.  In  Pacheco's  company  he  went,  in  1622,  to  Madrid, 
returning  one  year  later  at  the  request  of  Olivares,  who  persuaded  the  King 
to  sit  to  Velazquez  for  his  portrait.  The  portrait  was  a  complete  success, 
and  the  painter  stepped  at  once  into  fame  and  favor.  From  the  time  of 
this  first  portrait  of  Philip  IV  onward,  the  life  of  Velazquez  was  one  of 
long  triumph.  He  was  made  in  succession  Painter  to  the  King,  Keeper 
of  the  Wardrobe,  Usher  of  the  Royal  Chamber,  and  Chamberlain;  and 
offices  were  also  found  for  his  friends  and  relations.  When  Charles  I, 
then  Prince  of  Wales,  visited  Madrid,  in  1623,  Velazquez  painted  his 
portrait.  The  Duke  of  Buckingham  was  also  his  friend,  and  Velazquez 
saw  something  too  of  Rubens,  when  the  latter  came  on  his  diplomatic 
mission  to  Madrid.  In  1629  he  traveled  with  recommendations  from 
the  King,  and  wherever  he  went — Venice,  Ferrara,  Rome,  Naples — he  was 
received  with  all  the  honors  accorded  to  princes.  His  second  visit  to  Italy 
was  in  1649.  At  Rome  he  painted  the  portrait  of  the  Pope  (Innocent  X), 
which  made  so  great  a  mark  that  it  was  carried  in  triumphal  procession, 
like  Cimabue's  picture  of  old.  His  royal  master,  however,  became  im- 
patient for  his  return,  and  he  hurried  back  to  Madrid  in  1651.  On  his 
return  he  was  given  fresh  honors  and  offices — especially  that  of  Quarter 
Master,  whose  duty  it  was  to  superintend  the  personal  lodgement  of  the 
Kjng  during  excursions.  It  was  the  duties  of  this  office  which  were  the 
immediate  cause  of  his  death.  He  accompanied  the  King  to  the  conference 
at  the  "Island  of  Pheasants,"  which  led  to  the  marriage  of  Louis  XIV  with 
the  Infanta  Maria  Teresa.  There  is  a  picture  of  him  at  Versailles  by  the 
French  artist  Lebrun,  which  was  painted  on  this  occasion.  The  portrait, 
somber  and  cadaverous-looking,  was,  no  doubt,  true  to  life;  and  when 
Velazquez  returned  to  Madrid  it  was  found  that  his  exertions  in  arranging 
the  royal  journey  had  sown  the  seeds  of  a  fever,  from  which,  after  a  week's 
iUness,  he  died.  Seven  days  later  his  wife  died  of  grief,  and  was  buried  at 
his  side. 

270  VELAZQUEZ, 

He  is  between  thirty  and  forty  years  old,  the  face  is  turned  three-quarters 
to  the  left  of  the  spectator,  the  eyes  looking  to  the  front.  He  has  abundant 
black  hair  and  mustache  and  a  serious  expression  of  the  face.  His  habit  is 
black  and  he  wears  a  stiff  linen  collar  close  about  the  neck.  The  background 
is  warm  gray.    From  one  of  the  royal  palaces  of  Spain.

441  THE  REPRIMAND. 

An  anxious  mother  and  her  gaily  dressed  and  waj-^ard  daughter  are 
seated  on  a  stone  bench  in  the  garden  of  the  Vicarage.  The  mother  in  an 
ecstasy  of  passionate  grief  reproves  her  daughter  and  appeals  to  a  priest  who 
is  sitting  in  an  easy  chair  at  the  right,  partaking  of  a  luxurious  repast,  for 
counsel  in  her  extremity.  The  priest  looks  nonchalantly  up  with  well-feigned 
surprise  at  the  erring  one,  and  a  sleepy  old  tomcat  is  curled  up  on  the  ground 
by  his  side.

VINCI,  Leonardo  da     School  of.    Florentine  School. 

Bom  at  Vinci,  Val  d'Amo,  near  Florence,  in  1452;  died  at  the  Chateau 
de  Clot,  or  Cloux,  near  Ambroise,  May  2,  1519.  Florentine  School,  pupil 
of  Andrea  del  Verrocchio,  with  whom  he  was  associated  as  late  as  1476.  The 
bright  angel  which  he  painted  in  his  master's  picture  of  the  "Baptism  of 
Christ,"  Florence  Academy,  and  the  "Medusa  Head"  at  the  Uffizi  attributed 
to  him,  are  the  only  extant  works  of  the  earlier  period  of  his  style,  which  closed 
in  1483.  Lodovico  Sforza,  Duke  of  Milan,  appointed  him  court  painter, 
director  of  the  newly  founded  Academy  of  Arts,  general  organizer  of  fetes  in 
which  art  played  a  conspicuous  part,  and  manager  of  all  enterprises  in  which 
a  knowledge  of  hydraulics  engineering  and  general  science  was  necessary. 
For  the  Duke  he  executed  the  famous  wall  painting  of  the  "Last  Supper" 
(1495-98),  in  Santa  Maria  deUe  Grazie,  and  modeled  an  equestrian  statue, 
never  cast,  of  his  father,  Francesco  Sforza.  When  Lodovico  was  overthrown 
by  the  French  (1499),  and  sent  to  France  to  die  in  a  dungeon  at  the  Castle  of 
Loches,  Leonardo  retumed  to  Florence,  thence  to  Venice,  and  (in  1502)  he 
visited  the  fortress  of  the  principal  cities  of  Romagna  as  military  engineer  to 

^80 


Ciesar  Borgia.  Between  1503  and  1505  he  produced  the  famous  Cartoon  of  tha 
"  Battle  of  the  Standard,"  from  which  he  was  to  have  painted  a  fresco  in  the 
great  hall  of  the  Palazzo  Vecchio,  at  Florence.  In  October,  1507,  Leonardo 
once  more  established  himself  in  Milan,  until  1514,  when  he  accompanied 
Giuliano  de'  Medici  to  Rome  to  assist  at  the  Coronation  of  Leo  X.  In  1516  he 
went  to  France,  at  the  invitation  of  Francis  I,  and  spent  the  last  three  years  of 
his  life  in  the  King's  service. 

233  PORTRAIT  OF  A  LADY.

flowing  golden  hair,  and  is  attired  in  a  rich  dress  of  ItaUan  fifteenth  century 
fashion.    Sir  Charles  Robinson  says: 

"There  can  be  no  doubt  that  this  most  admirable  and  unique  picture 
should  be  referred  to  Leonardo's  early  period;  i.e.,  that  it  was  executed  at 
Florence  before  his  removal  to  Milan,  consequently  anterior  to  1483-85." 
It  was  formerly  in  the  possession  of  Lord  de  Ros,  and  afterward  in  that  of 
Lord  St.  Leonard,  at  Boyle  Farm,  Thames  Ditton,  near  London;  Boyle

and  was  admitted  into  the  small  but  select  circle  of  American  artists  then 
in  the  English  metropolis.  After  painting  portraits  in  London  for  three 
years,  he  returned  to  the  United  States  in  1809,  and  opened  a  studio  in  New 
York,  where  the  balance  of  his  professional  life  was  spent.  He  devoted 
himself  to  portrait  painting  with  marked  success.

coachmaker  in  New  London.  Soon  after,  Samuel  L.  Waldo  came  there  and 
painted  several  portraits,  the  sight  of  which  fascinated  young  Jewett  so 
mucli  that  he  offered  to  grind  the  colors  for  Mr.  Waldo  that  he  might  be 
near  and  see  him  at  his  work :  later  followed  him  to  New  York,  and  became 
his  assistant:  very  many  portraits  bear  the  impress  of  the  two  men  who 
worked  together  in  perfect  harmony  for  eighteen  consecutive  years.

THE  LAST  VOYAGE— SOUVENIR  OF  THE  GANGES— BENARES. 

A  superstition  exists  among  the  pious  Hindus  that  the  souls  of  the  faith- 
ful who  die  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Ganges  River  are  blessed,  and  enter  directly 
into  Paradise,  while  those  who  pass  away  on  the  opposite  shores  are  cursed, 
and  their  souls  are  changed  into  long-suffering  donkeys  or  other  beasts  of 
burden.  So  the  boy  rows  lustily,  while  a  comrade  fans  the  old  Fakir  in  order 
that  he  may  arrive  soon  enough  to  draw  his  last  breath  in  the  shadow  of  some 
temple  and  pass  directly  into  peace.  The  background  shows  a  line  of  temple 
steps,  and  wooden  platforms,  built  out  over  the  stream  to  facilitate  bathing 
and  washing  in  the  waters  of  the  sacred  river,  as  well  as  for  meditation.  The 
devout  sit  for  hours  sheltered  under  their  straw  umbrellas  dotted  like  mush- 
rooms along  the  shore.  In  the  centre  of  the  background  is  the  burning  ghat, 
where  after  death  the  bodies  of  the  better  classes  are  burned  in  the  open.

WEST,  Benjamin.    American  School. 

Bom  at  Springfield,  Penn.,  October  10,  1738;  died  in  London,  March 
11,  1820.  He  began  to  draw  when  seven  years  old  and  took  his  first  lessons 
in  preparing  colors  from  Cherokee  Indians.  After  a  little  instruction  from 
a  painter  named  Williams,  he  set  up,  when  eighteen  years  old,  in  Philadel- 
phia, as  a  portrait  painter ;  thence  removed  to  New  York,  and  in  1760  went 
to  Italy,  wher.e  he  remained  until  1763,  when  he  settled  in  London.  His 
pictures  of  "Agrippina  bringing  home  the  ashes  of  Germanicus,"  painted 
for  the  Archbishop  of  York,  and  the  "Departure  of  Regulus,"  bought  by 
George  III,  won  him  royal  patronage  and  favor,  which  he  long  enjoyed. 
From  1769  to  1801,  during  which  time  he  received  all  orders  from  the  King, 
who  made  him  his  historical  painter,  1772,  West  gained  £34,187.  The 
seven  pictures  illustrating  revealed  religion,  which  he  painted  for  the  Oratory 
at  Windsor,  brought  him  in  £20,705,  and  his  many  portraits  of  members  of 
the  Royal  family  were  highly  remunerative.  On  the  death  of  Sir  Joshua 
Reynolds,  1792,  West  succeeded  him  as  President  of  the  Royal  Academy, 
of  which  he  had  been  one  of  the  founders  in  1768,  and  with  the  exception 
of  a  few  months,  held  that  office  until  his  death,  in  1820. 

204  TRIUMPH  OF  LOVE. 

A  youth,  bearing  in  his  right  hand  a  flaming  torch  and  holding  with  his 
left  the  guiding  reins  of  a  lion  and  a  horse,  is  preceded  in  the  journey  over 
the  world  by  two  amours,  one  of  whom  is  mounted  upon  a  flying  eagle. 
Following  this  group  is  a  female  figure,  hoMing  in  her  hand  a  pair  of  snow- 
white  doves,  while  Cupid  clings  to  her  garments,  as  they  all  float  along  on 
a  cloud,  dispelling  the  darkness  by  the  liglit  of  love.

What  aileth  thee,  Hagar?  fear  not;  for  God  hath  heard  the  voice  of  the  lad 
where  he  is.  Arise,  lift  up  the  lad,  and  hold  him  in  thine  hand;  for  I  will 
make  him  a  great  nation."

WHEATLEY,  Francis.   English  School. 

Bom  at  London,  1747;  died  there,  1801.  He  received  his  early  art 
education  at  Shipley's  drawing  school,  and  obtained  several  premiums  from 
the  Society  for  the  Encouragement  of  Arts.  He  assisted  Mr.  Mortimer  in 
painting  the  ceiling  of  Brocket  Hall  and  in  the  decorations  at  Vauxhall. 
His  inclination  appeared  to  lead  him  equally  to  figures  and  landscape,  but 

187 


meeting  with  considerable  success  in  painting  small  whole  length  portraits, 
he  for  some  time  made  that  his  pursuit;  after  practising  some  years  in  London 
he  visited  Ireland,  where  he  painted  a  large  picture  of  the  Irish  House  of 
Commons,  which  gave  him  great  reputation.  Returning  to  London  about 
1780,  he  was  invited  to  contribute  twelve  pictures  for  Boydell's  Shakespeare.

WILSON,  Richard,  R.A.    English  School. 

Bom  at  Pinegas,  Montgomeryshire,  1713;  died  at  Llanberris,  Carnar- 
vonshire, 1782.  An  eminent  English  landscape  painter.  He  early  mani- 
fested a  taste  for  drawing,  and  gave  such  promise  that  his  relative,  Sir  George 
Wynne,  took  him  to  London,  and  placed  him  under  an  obscure  portrait 
painter,  Thomas  Wright,  where  he  made  rapid  progress.  In  1748  he  painted 
a  large  picture  of  the  Prince  of  Wales,  and  his  brother  the  Duke  of  York. 
In  1749  he  went  to  Italy.  While  stopping  at  Venice,  he  paid  a  visit  to 
Zuccarelli,  who  happened  to  be  from  home,  and  Wilson,  to  pass  the  time, 
made  a  sketch  in  oils,  of  the  view  from  the  painter's  window.  Zuccarelli 
thought  so  highly  of  this  sketch  that  he  recommended  Wilson  to  relinquish 
portrait  and  take  to  landscape  painting.  A  similar  experience  with  Vemet, 
in  Rome,  caused  Wilson  to  devote  himself  to  landscape  painting. 

284  THE  STORM. 

A  classic  landscape,  over  which  a  storm  is  breaking.  Forked  lightning

cliff  at  the  right  is  an  old  castle.  By  a  roadway  in  the  immediate  foreground 
is  a  large  tree  split  and  swaying  in  the  wind,  and  a  shepherd  with  his  flock 
are  making  their  way  to  a  cottage  near  the  base  of  the  cliff.

490  FLORIN  DA. 

The  Maids  of  Honor  of  Roderick,  King  of  the  Spanish  Visigoths,  about 
A.D.  700.  The  king,  wishing  to  determine  which  of  their  number  was  the 
fairest,  retired  to  a  lonely  spot,  where,  in  concealment,  he  was  a  witness  of  the 
scene,  and  awarded  the  prize  of  beauty  to  Florinda,  whom  he  afterwards  made 
the  object  of  his  love.  Her  father,  in  revenge,  called  the  Arabs  into  Spain  and 
brought  about  the  Arab  Conquest. 

The  Empress  Eugenie  and  her  Maids  of  Honor  were  said  to  have  been  the 
models  for  the  painter. 

In  a  thickly  wooded  glen  twelve  maids  of  honor,  semi-nude,  ready  for  a 
bath,  are  gathered  together  in  a  semi-circle  around  a  pool  of  water,  all  uncon- 
scious of  the  presence  of  the  king  who  is  peering  through  an  opening  in  the 
wood  at  the  left.    The  castle  is  seen  above  in  the  distance.

WYANT,  Alexander  H.    American  School. 

Bom  in  Ohio,  1836;  died  at  New  York,  1892.  He  devoted  himself  in 
early  life  to  painting  photographs  and  portraits  in  Cincinnati.  At  the 
age  of  21  years  he  made  a  journey  to  New  York  to  visit  George 
Inness,  by  whom  he  was  received  most  kindly.  The  impression  made 
upon  Wyant  at  this  meeting  was  lasting,  and  the  influence  of  that  masterful 
painter  may  be  traced  in  many  of  his  most  important  works.  He  spent  some 
years  at  Diisseldorf ;  subsequently  at  London ;  settled  at  New  York  after  1864. 
He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Water  Color  Society,  and  a  member  of  the 
National  Academy  of  Design. 

601      VIEW  IN  COUNTY  KERRY,  IRELAND. 

A  large  pool  of  water  with  its  grassy  border  occupies  the  center  of  a  land- 
scape saturated  with  the  moisture  of  continuous  rains.  At  the  right  is  a 
whitewashed  cabin  snuggled  against  a  rocky  ledge  from  which  a  footpath  leads 
down  to  the  foreground.  An  atmosphere  of  mist  envelops  the  low  hills  and

686      THE  DEATH  OF  A  VENDEAN  CHIEF. 

This  picture  was  nearly  finished  at  the  artist's  death.  It  depicts  an  inci- 
dent in  the  romantic  insurrection  of  the  inhabitants  of  La  Vendee,  March,  1793, 
to  March,  1796,  against  the  over-harsh  interference  of  the  revolutionists  with 
the  rights  of  their  simple  community. 

The  wounded  chief  surrounded  by  his  family  and  followers  is  lying  upon  a 
litter  of  straw  in  the  crypt  where  he  has  been  taken,  fatally  wounded  after  a 
desperate  conflict.  A  priest  kneels  by  his  side  administering  the  last  rites  of 
the  church,  and  his  grief-stricken  wife  leans  over  the  prostrate  form,  covering 
her  face  with  one  hand  while  she  holds  out  the  crucifix  before  his  face  with  the 
other.  Two  women  at  the  left  have  thrown  themselves  into  each  other's  arms, 
and  two  men  kneel  at  the  right  where  the  lighted  candles  shine  upon  them. 
Above  is  a  Vendean  soldier  holding  a  blunderbuss  under  his  arm  and  in  the 
center  of  the  picture  is  another  leaning  upon  his  weapon.  On  the  stone  stairs 
at  the  right,  in  deep  shadow,  is  a  captive  soldier.

MODERN  PAINTINGS 

LENT  BY 

MR.  GEORGE  W.  VANDERBILT 


The  Catalogue  of  this  loan  is  a  reprint  from  that  of  Mr.  William 
H.  Vanderbilt,  published  in  1886,  with  a  prefatory  note  by  Mr.  S.  P. 
Avery,   


NOTE. 

Mr.  William  H.  Vanderbilt  was  born  in  the  year  182 1.  In 
1854  he  accompanied  his  father,  Commodore  Cornelius  Vander- 
bilt, and  other  members  of  his  family,  on  his  steamship  the 
"  White  Star,"  during  the  famous  trip  to  notable  parts  of  Europe. 
It  was  the  desire  to  visit  Rome,  but  on  account  of  the  cholera 
then  raging  there  they  could  only  land  at  Civita  Vecchia,  where 
Mr.  W.  H.  Vanderbilt  purchased  his  first  painting.  Later  on,  in 
the  early  '6o's,  he  began  to  purchase  and  commission  pictures 
from  a  number  of  our  native  artists.  This  experience  did  much 
to  interest  him  in  collecting  works  of  art.  His  first  purchases  were 
distributed  throughout  his  residence  on  Fifth  Avenue,  southeast 
corner  of  Fortieth  Street.  During  1868  and  succeeding  years  he 
began  to  purchase  works  by  foreign  artists.  On  the  death  of  his 
father  in  1877  his  increasing  means  enabled  Mr.  Vanderbilt  to 
purchase  examples  of  the  celebrated  living  and  recently  deceased 
painters,  which  at  that  time  had  not  become  common  in  this 
country.  Frequently  going  to  Europe,  he  visited  the  national 
and  private  galleries,  attended  notable  public  sales,  conferred

THE  WILUAM  H.  VANDERBILT  COLLECTION. 


with  reliable  experts,  made  extensive  purchases,  and  gave  com- 
missions to  several  prominent  artists  of  the  time. 

In  course  of  events  and  with  many  art  accumulations  Mr. 
Vanderbilt  found  that  he  required  more  extensive  premises.  He 
then  built  his  final  residence  at  640  Fifth  Avenue,  with  adjoining 
picture  galleries,  to  which  he  removed  in  1881,  and  where  he 
continually  added  to  his  collection  up  to  the  time  of  his  death  in 
1885.  Since  then  no  paintings  have  been  added,  neither  have 
any  of  them  ever  been  exhibited  outside  the  residence,  where  for 
several  years  it  has  not  been  convenient  to  admit  visitors.  In 
consideration  of  the  many  applications  to  see  the  paintings,  Mr. 
George  Vanderbilt,  having  planned  to  be  absent  from  the  city  for 
the  most  of  the  coming  year,  has  in  the  most  generous  manner 
loaned  this  portion  of  his  father's  collection  to  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art,  where  it  can  be  freely  enjoyed  by  the  public.

GSrQmE  (J.  L.) 

Louis  XIV.  and  the  Grand  Cond6. 

54x37 

Painted  to  order.  1878. 
(Extract  of  Letter  from  the  Artist.) 
'*  In  order  to  deliver  your  picture  of  the  *  Reception  of  the  Prince  of  Cond^ 
by  Louis  XIV./ 1  have  worked  upon  it  without  intermission  to  reach  the  desired 
end,  and  I  hope  that  I  have  succeeded.  I  hope  also  that  you  will  be  satisfied,  for 
I  have  done  my  best  to  arrive  at  this  result.  A  few  lines  about  the  subject  will 
make  you  understand  it  in  its  details.  The  reception  takes  place  on  the  grand 
staircase  at  Versailles.  This  staircase  no  longer  exists.  It  was  destroyed  under 
Louis  XV.,  but  there  remains  an  engraving  of  it  at  that  time,  very  well  executed, 
which  has  enabled  me  to  reconstruct  it  with  truth.  In  the  year  1674  Conde  had 
returned  to  Court,  where  he  was  received  in  triumph.  The  King  came  forward 
to  meet  him  on  the  grand  staircase,  which  was  not  his  usual  habit.  The  Prince 
was  going  up  slowly,  on  account  of  the  gout,  which  made  him  almost  helpless. 
As  soon  as  he  saw  the  monarch,  *  Sire,'  said  he,  *  I  beg  Your  Majesty's  pardon 
to  make  you  wait  so  long.*  *  My  cousin,*  answered  the  King,  *  do  not  hurry 
When  one  is  so  loaded  with  laurels  as  you  are,  it  is  difficult  to  walk  quickly.' 
Louis  XIV,  pressed  him  in  his  arms,  and  embraced  him  repeatedly.  By  the 
side  of  Louis  XIV.  stands  his  son,  the  Duke  of  Burgundy,  whom  they  called 
the  Great  Dauphin,  at  that  time  thirteen  years  old.  He  died  while  young,  with- 
out  having  reigned,  and  was  the  father  of  Louis  XV.  Behind  him  is  his  pre- 
ceptor liossuet.  Bishop  of  Meaux.  On  the  right  and  on  the  left  are  members 
of  the  Court.

(Extract  of  a  I.etter  from  the  Artist.) 
•  The  title  of  my  picture  is  *  The  Arrest  of  an  Ambulance,  Eastern  Part  ot 
France,  January,  1871.'    They  are  civil  Ambulanciers,  who  have  been  taken  by 
a  Prussian  patrol  in  a  village  where  a  battle  has  taken  place.    When  their  papers 
have  been  examined  and  recognized  in  order  by  the  Prussian  general,  they  will 
be  released  and  authorized  to  collect  the  wounded  and  assist  in  tlie  German  in- 
firmaries.   The  spot  where  the  scene  is  laid  is  a  village  in  Francho-Comte  ;  they 
hare  fought  there  ;  the  Germans  occupy  it.    The  foot-soldiers  who  surround 
the  ambulances  are  Prussian  Chasseurs  (Rhetnisches  Jagers,  Battalion  No 


GALLERY  16. 


The  Prussian  general  is  accompanied  by  an  officer  of  the  Hussars  (Leibhusaren, 
Regiment  No.  2),  and  by  an  officer  of  the  staff ;  his  cap  and  cloth-facing  of 
amaranth.  The  two  other  officers  are  :  the  one  in  blue  tunic  and  yellow  collar, 
an  officer  of  the  Dragoons ;  the  other,  an  officer  of  the  Cuirassiers  (Branden- 
burgisches  Cuirassiers,  Regiment  No.  6,  Kaiser  Nicholas  I.  von  Russland). 
The  dead  body  in  the  foreground  is  that  of  a  Bavarian  foot-soldier.  Those  are 
also  Bavarians  who  are  at  the  end  of  the  street,  and  at  the  entrance  of  the  house 
under  the  facade,  and  pierced  by  bullets.  Here  are  very  minute  explanations, 
but  I  thought  that  Mr.  Vanderbilt  would  be  pleased  to  have  all  possible  details 
about  his  picture.  I  hope  that  he  may  be  satisfied  with  it,  and  that  it  will 
receive  many  compliments."

The  Picture  Gallery. 

23  X  30 

This  represents  a  Gallery  of  Antique  Paintings.  Several  visitors  are  mak- 
ing good  use  of  the  catalogues  and  references  which  they  have  found  in  the 
boxes  on  the  tables.  On  the  easel  is  a  Monochrome  by  **Apelles";  above 
which  appears  part  of  a  large  picture,  taken  from  the  great  Mosaic  in  the  Naples 
Museum,  which  is  probably  a  copy  of  the  painting  **  The  Battle  of  Issus,"  by 
Philoxenos  of  Eretria.  The  picture  over  the  doorway  might  be  attributed  to 
Marcus  Ludius,  the  inventor  of  that  most  charming  and  well-known  architectural 
decoration  in  which  Pompeii  abounds.  Through  the  doorway  is  seen  another 
work,  taken  from  a  Mosaic  in  the  Naples  Museum,  representing  *'  Strength 
Captivated  by  Love,"  The  life-size  figure  is,  by  some  archaeologists,  believed 
to  be  the  **  Medea  '*  by  Timomachos  of  Byzantium,  which  picture  Julius  Caesar 
bought  from  the  artist  for  40  talents  (;^8,ooo)  for  his  collection  in  the  gardens 
on  the  Tiber,  and  left  by  will  to  the  Roman  people.  Next  to  this,  **  The 
Sacrifice  of  Iphigenia,"  by  Timanthes,  is  a  picture  much  praised  by  ancient 
writers ;  to  the  right  appears  a  foreshortened  Lion,  which  there  is  reason  to 
believe  is  the  work  of  Pausias,  who  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  to  paint  objects 
in  foreshortening,  and  never  to  have  been  surpassed  in  that  branch  of  art.  The 
picture  above  it  represents  "A  Theatrical  Rehearsal,"  taken  from  a  Mosaic  in 
.he  Naples  Museum. 

This  pair  of  pictures  (8  and  12)  have  been  engraved  by  A.  Blanchard  of 
Paris.

Lucy,  scarcely  yet  recovered  from  the  bewilderment  of  her  terror  and  the 
faintness  of  her  swoon,  clings  with  all  her  light  weight  to  the  stranger's  arm, 
while  yet  she  seems  to  be  urging  him  onward.  There  is  a  look  of  entreatv 
blended  with  trust  and  helplessness,  in  the  beseeching  blue  eyes  and  in  the 
wistful  face.  The  plaid,  which  she  wears  in  the  graceful  old  Scottish  fashion, 
folded  mantillawise  over  her  head  and  shoulders,  still  wet  with  the  water  he  has 
used  to  restore  her  to  consciousness,  clings  closely  round  the  fair  face  and  neck 
and  slender  figure.  Her  small  gloved  hands  are  clasped  clingingly  round  his 
strong  arm.  He,  with  knit  brow  and  dark  eyes  fixed  in  a  far-off  look — it  may 
be  that  he  now  first  sees  the  enemy  of  his  house,  the  author  of  his  father's  ruin 
and  death,  the  usurper  of  his  birthright ;  or  that  he  already  reads,  as  in  a  vision, 
the  mysterious  interweaving  of  his  fate  with  that  of  the  innocent  daughter  of  his 
and  his  house's  enemy,  who  clings  to  his  arm,  with  dreamy  eyes,  that  seem,  like 
his  own.  to  see  far  into  the  future.

MCOL  (Erskine). 
Paying  the  Rent 

64  X  46 

Dated  iBbb^    Exhibited  at  the  Koyal  Academy,  1866,  and  Unirersal  Exhibi- 
tion, Paris,  1867.    From  the  collection  of  the  late 
Mr.  F.  O.  Day,  St.  Louis. 

(Extract  of  Letter  from  the  Artist.) 
**  The  subject  is  a  representation  of  what  is  usually  to  be  seen  in  the  busi- 
ness-room of  an  *  agent,'  where,  as  our  Scottish  Burns  expresses  it,  *  Puir  tenant 
bodies,  scant  o'  cash,*  drop  in  one  after  the  other  to  pay  rents  and  arrears  ;  often 
•with  great  difficulty  to  themselves,  and  sometimes  not  without  unwillingness, 
even  when  they  can,  from  a  failing  not  uncommon  in  frail  human  nature,  viz.: 
a  distaste  to  part  with  the  cash.  The  agent,  accustomed  to  the  work,  and  used 
to  the  many  complaints  of  *high  rents,  hard  times,  failure  of  crops,'  etc.,  takes 
it  all  as  a  philosopher,  and  quietly  listens,  chats,  and  nibs  his  pen,  having  but 
one  point  in  view — getting  the  cash.  The  particular  incident  illustrates  what 
is  not  uncommon — a  difficulty  in  arranging  contra-accounts,  and  for  work  *  done 
for  his  Honor,  and  for  which  his  Honor  said  himself  was  to  be  deducted  from 
the  rint.'  The  Lady,  who  is  sometimes  the  better  man  of  the  two,  is  active  and 
looking  after  their  interests,  knowing  that  a  mistake  might  be  made  ;  while  the 
clerk,  likely  to  be  more  sharp  than  polite,  feels  that  in  his,  for  the  day,  imposing 
and  responsible  position,  he  is  called  upon  to  look  closely  into  such  charges — 
if  a  mistake  exists,  it  may  be  in  their  favor — and,  in  all  probability,  will  in  the 
end  have  to  refer  the  matter  to  his  superior.  The  other  figures  are  all  acces- 
sories of  the  same  story  ;  The  man  coming  in  warm,  rubbing  his  head  with  bis 
kerchief,  chatting  to  the  old  man  of  the  weather,  and  the  hard  run  he  has  had 
to  be  in  time  before  his  Honor  got  busy,  as  he  had  to  go  look  after  some  heifers 
in  the  field  beyant  Patsy  Conroy's  after  he  had  done  his  business;  another 
stooping  to  pick  up  some  papers  he  has  dropped  out  of  his  hat ;  while  the 
agent's  'own  man'  is  seen  coming  in  at  the  door  with  some  books  which  will  be 
required  in  the  course  of  the  day.  This  is  something  like  what  I  intended. 
After  the  warm  reception  the  picture  has  met  with  in  Paris,  I  think  I  may  ven- 
ture to  hope  it  will  still  add  to  my  reputation  *

the  Gorges  d'Apremont,  in  the  evening  when  the  sun  sets  behind  the  mountains 
of  Rochefort.  It  is  the  hour  when  the  cool  air  touches  the  earth  and  strikes 
the  trees,  prognosticating  the  arrival  of  night.  The  circle  is  vast,  the  rocks 
which  tower  above  it  have  a  dry  and  primitive  look,  making  a  fitting  place  for 
a  nocturnal  visit  of  Macbethian  witches.  Nothing  is  exaggerated  or  too  nervous 
in  this  picture,  which  is  painted  with  a  light  touch,  perfectly  representing  great 
calm  and  serenity  of  the  atmosphere." — Alfred  Sensier's  **  Life  of  Rousseau,"

mnst  have  already  received  the  picture  of  *  Pia  de  Tolomei/  which  I  have 
painted  for  you.  I  will  give  you  the  passage  of  history  which  inspired  my 
work.*  Pia,  of  the  noble  family  of  the  Tolomei,  of  Siena,  was  shut  up  in  a 
castle  of  the  Maremma,  by  her  husband,  Nello  della  Pietra,  who  accused  her  of 
infidelity.  The  poisoned  air  of  this  region  killed  her.  I  have,  then,  imagined 
her  upon  th  :.  terrace  of  the  castle,  strong  in  her  innocence,  and  defying  her  evil 
destiny.  Pia  has  been  for  many  years  a  favorite  subject  with  Italian  painters 
and  poets.  Her  story  is  a  mysterious  one,  and  her  personality  has  always  at- 
tracted a  noble  sympathy.  Dante,  who  places  her  in  his  *  Purgatory,*  devotes 
to  her  only  a  few  lines  of  the  Fifth  Canto,  but  these  few  lines  are  a  poem  in 
themselves  i 

'  Ah  I  when  thou  hast  returned  unto  the  world, 
And  rested  there  from  thy  long  journeying. 

Do  thou  remember  me,  who  am  the  Pia  t 
Siena  made  me ;  unmade  me,  Maremma  j 
He  knoweth  it  who  has  encircled  first. 
Espousing  me,  my  finger  with  his  gem.' 

"  Alfieri  has  written  a  fine  tragedy,  and  many  poets  have  sung  the  beauty 
and  the  sad  fate  of  Pia  de  Tolomei.  You  know  my  aspirations.  I  do  not  need, 
therefore,  to  tell  you  what  an  attraction  this  noble  and  touching  figure  must 
have  for  me.  I  have  exerted  myself,  therefore,  to  the  utmost  to  paint  the  sub- 
ject as  it  presents  itself  to  my  imagination.  My  artist  friends,  and  others  in 
whom  I  place  great  confidence,  have  praised  the  picture  very  highly  ;  and,  for 
my  own  part,  I  am  well  pleased  that  this  picture  is  to  go  to  you,  for  I  consider 
it  not  only  one  of  my  very  best  works,  but  also  <Hie  of  the  most  affecting  that  I 
have  painted,  **

birth  of  Dante  :  so  that  at  the  epoch  at  which  Dante  wrote  his  poem,  the  event  must  have 
been  fresh  in  memory  of  men  of  Tuscany.

From  the  Hartmann  Collection,  Paris,  l88l. 

la  a  letter  addressed  to  his  friend  There  in  i860,  Millet  refers  to  this  pic- 
ture  as  follows :  **  In  the  woman  coming  from  drawing  water,  I  did  not  try  to 
portray  a  servant,  but  a  wife  who  had  just  drawn  water  for  her  household  needs 
— the  water  with  which  she  makes  her  husband's  soup — and  that  she  should 
appear  to  be  carrying  neither  more  nor  less  than  the  weight  of  the  full  pails ; 
that  through  the  kind  of  grimace  that  is  forced  on  her  by  the  dragging  down  of 
the  arms  and  the  half-closed  eyes,  that  just  allow  her  to  see,  one  could  divine 
on  her  visage  an  air  of  rustic  goodness.  I  have  avoided,  as  I  always  do,  with 
a  sort  of  horror,  anything  that  turned  towards  the  sentimental ;  I  wished,  on 
the  contrary,  to  show  her  accomplishing  with  simplicity  and  willingness  an  act 
which  is»  with  the  other  household  duties,  an  everyday  part  of  her  life."

The  Sower. 

32  X  42 

While  patiently  studying  the  action  of  his  reapers,  Millet  produced  a 
('igure  which  had  long  occupied  his  thoughts.  We  know  what  a  serious  affair 
the  sowing  is  to  an  agricultural  people.  Plowing,  manuring,  and  harrowing 
are  done  with  comparative  indifference,  at  any  rate  without  heroic  passion  ;  but 
when  a  man  puts  on  the  white  grain-bag,  rolls  it  around  his  left  arm,  fills  it  with 
seed,  the  hope  of  the  coming  year,  that  man  exercises  a  sort  of  sacred  ministry. 
He  says  nothing,  looks  straight  before  him,  measures  the  furrow,  and,  with  a 
movement  cadenced  like  the  rhythm  of  a  mysterious  song,  throws  the  grain 

218 


GALLERY  16. 


which  falls  to  the  earth  and  will  soon  be  covered  by  the  harrow.  The  rhythmic 
walk  of  the  sower  and  his  action  are  superb.  The  importance  of  the  deed  is 
real,  and  he  feels  his  responsibility.  If  he  is  a  good  laborer  he  will  know  how 
much  seed  to  throw  with  every  fling  of  his  hand,  adjusting  the  amount  sown  to 
the  nature  oS  the  soil.  I  have  seen  sowers  who,  before  they  put  foot  upon  the 
field,  would  toss  a  handful  of  grain  into  the  air  in  the  sign  of  a  cross  ;  then, 
stepping  upon  the  field,  they  would  pronounce,  in  a  low  voice,  some  indistinct 
words  which  sounded  like  a  prayer."  *'  The  Sower"  was  sent  to  the  Salon  of 
1850,  then  held  at  the  Palais  Royal.  It  made  some  noise ;  the  young  school 
talked  about  it,  reproduced  it  in  lithography,  and  it  has  remained  in  the  mem- 
ory of  artists  as  Millet's  chef-d'' auvre.  Theophile  Gautier  was  touched  by  it. 
In  the  following  quotation  we  see  the  impression  made  by  this  virile  work  : 

•*  *  The  Sower,'  by  M.  J.  F.  Millet,  impresses  us  as  the  first  pages  of  '  Marc 
au  Diable '  of  Georges  Sand,  which  are  about  labor  and  rustic  toil.  The  night 
is  coming,  spreading  its  gray  wings  over  the  earth  ;  the  sower  marches  with  a 
rhythmic  step,  flinging  the  grain  in  the  furrow  ;  he  is  followed  by  a  cloud  of 
pecking  birds ;  he  is  covered  with  dark  rags,  his  head  by  a  curious  cap.  He 
is  bony,  swart,  meager,  under  this  livery  of  poverty,  yet  it  is  life  which  his  large 
hands  sheds  ;  he  who  has  nothing  pours  upon  the  earth,  with  a  superb  gesture, 
the  bread  of  the  future.  On  the  other  side  of  the  slope  a  last  ray  of  the  sun 
shows  a  pair  of  oxen  at  the  end  of  their  furrow,  strong  and  gentle  companions 
of  man,  whose  recompense  will  one  day  be  the  slaughter-house.  This  is  the 
only  light  of  the  picture,  which  is  bathed  in  shadow,  and  presents  to  the  eye, 
under  a  cloudy  sky,  nothing  but  newly  ploughed  earth.  Of  all  the  peasants 
sent  to  the  Salon  this  year,  we  much  prefer  *  The  Sower.*  There  is  something 
great  and  of  the  grand  style  in  the  figure,  with  its  violent  gesture,  its  proud 
raggedness,  which  seems  to  be  painted  with  the  very  earth  that  the  sower  is 
planting." — (Sensier's  **  Life  of  Millet.")

On  a  road  that  crosses  one  of  the  vast  plains  of  Hungary,  appears  in  the 
midst  of  a  cloud  of  dust  a  wagon  filled  with  young  men  and  drawn  by  three 
spirited  horses  at  full  gallop.  The  enthusiasm  of  the  young  volunteers  is  at  its 
highest  pitch  ;  they  seem  to  be  exciting  each  other  by  their  shouts  ,  one  of 
them,  standing  in  the  middle  of  the  wagon,  is  beating  a  drum  ;  a  second  is 
waving  his  hat  in  the  air  ;  others  are  smoking  or  singing^ ;  the  wagon  is  hung
